Queens for Catoiu

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

On the three-way flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Ana Marquez in the small blind checked and called a bet by Radu Catoiu in the under-the-gun position, as did Mihail Cuza on the button. The {k-Diamonds} turn was checked and the [10s river also brought no betting action by Marquez and Catoiu. Cuza bet 4,000 and Marquez folded, while Catoiu called.

Cuza turned over {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw and Catoiu had that beat with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

New chip leader at the table is Stuart Sewell, who has moved up to almost two times the starting stack.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Alin Teodor bet the river of a board {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Clubs} for 800 into a pot of around 3,000 and his sole remaining opponent Catalin Popa came along. Teodor simply mucked to forfeit the pot and Popa claimed the chips without showdown. Right at the end of the hand, Florin Pandilica entered and took a seat at the same table.

Ozgur Arda

Sebastian Mihai raised to 200 on the button and was called by Vlad Tatu and Ozgur Arda in the blinds. On the {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, action checked to Mihai and he continued for 600. Tatu folded and Arda check-raised to 2,000, which resulted in a call.

The showdown revealed a setup hand, as Mihai had turned a full house with {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Arda had improved to the superior full house with {k-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Catoiu Doubles Through Cuza

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

With just 3,000 in the middle and the turn showing {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Mihail Cuza and Radu Catoiu clashed with the latter at risk.

Radu Catoiu: {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Mihail Cuza: {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Catoui was ahead with the nut straight and needed to dodge an eight or seven on the river. He did so thanks to the {3-Diamonds} and doubled, leaving Cuza short in the first level of the day.

Calusaru Takes From Catoiu

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

With 5,000 in the middle and the turn showing {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, Radu Catoui checked and called a bet of 3,000 by Adrian Calusaru. The duo then checked the {a-Spades} on the river and Catoiu showed {7-Spades}{5-Spades}, which ended up second-best to Calusaru's {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

Poteras Involved in Early Action

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Denis Poteras raised to 300 and Andrei Grigoras wasted little time to three-bet to 1,100 from one seat over. That was enough to claim the pot, as all opponents including Poteras sent their cards into the muck.

Soon after a three-way flop of {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} followed on the very same table and Razvan Cirstian checked out of the small blind before calling a bet of 400 by Grigoras. They checked the {8-Diamonds} turn and the {3-Hearts} river, and Cirstian won the pot with {a-Hearts}{6-Spades} for top pair.

Poteras three-bet the next hand and got most of the chips back.
