Covaciu En Route to Cash Twice; Cook Hits the Rail
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After some raising preflop, Paul-Adrian Covaciu's stack of 171,000 got into the middle preflop with Yoann Cook trying to bust him.
Paul-Adrian Covaciu: A♦Q♠ 
Yoann Cook: 9♣9♥
Covaciu, who has already bagged up a stack on Day 2, having survived Day 1b with just a few big blinds, had the chance to double up to above average and likely survive into the second day of play, but with a more playable stack.
The dealer produced a runout of 6♥A♣5♦7♣6♣ to give Covaciu the best hand with a pair of aces. Cook was left with just a few big blinds and was eliminated shortly after.
