"Max Pain" for Vornicu

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Valentin Vornicu
Valentin Vornicu

Valentin Vornicu opened to 4,500,000 under the gun, Salvatore Dicarlo three-bet to 11,000,000 from the hijack, and Kevin Eyster moved all in on the button.

Vornicu, although covered, asked for a count to understand on how much Eyster was willing to wager against table big stack Dicarlo. He went deep into the tank before announcing "max pain" and a call. Dicarlo folded quickly.

Valentin Vornicu: A10 All in
Kevin Eyster: AK

Eyster dominated his opponent and remained ahead on the 4J5 flop. The A turn changed nothing, and the 7 river confirmed the elimination of the start-of-day chip leader who had to settle for 20th place.
