Yazbeck Eliminates Stoian in Stunning Fashion

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ion Stoian
Ion Stoian

On a {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, there was around 20,000 in the pot with action on Ion Stoian. He looked at his left-hand neighbor, Cristinel Dumitru, who had around 35,000 behind, and shoved all in. Dumitru gave it some thought, then folded his hand.

Done, right?

Well, not exactly. As the late Billy Mays would say: "But wait, there's more!"

You see, Georges Yazbeck was also active in the hand, which presumably had escaped Stoian's attention. And Yazbeck, mind you, was the only guy at the table that covered Stoian's impressive stack of 170,000.

With action on Yazbeck, the Lebanese dentist picked up a tower of T-5,000 chips and slammed them in the middle.

Ion Stoian: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Georges Yazbeck: {K-Spades}{4-Spades}

Stoian moved his hands to his head and started to mutter in Romanian. Now, our knowledge of the Romanian language is unfortunately not up to speed but it appeared Stoian had totally missed out on Yazbeck. Just like that, his tournament life hung in the balance.

"No spade!" yelled Yazbeck, while Stoian kept muttering with both hands on his head.

The {J-Hearts} on the turn wasn't a spade, and neither was the {7-Hearts} on the river. A bewildered Stoian headed for the rail, while Yazbeck scooped up the gigantic 400,000 pot and claimed a massive chip lead.

Cinca Takes Out Alecu

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

After Alexandru Cinca had opened in late position, Andrei Alecu moved in from the blinds. Cinca instantly called to create a pot of almost 100,000. Alecu showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} but Cinca had {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and remained ahead after the board ran out with five blanks.

Vlachos Out; Borkowski Soars

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Dawid Borkowski
Dawid Borkowski

Salvatore Camarda raised to 5,000 in early position. Behind him, Andreas Vlachos three-bet to 24,000. Dawid Borkowski was seated to Vlachos' left and thought for two minutes before four-betting to 38,000.

Camarda folded with some hesitation, Vlachos moved all in, and Borkowski called it off.

Andreas Vlachos: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Dawid Borkowski: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Borkowski was the mathematical favorite and held up on a {6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades} board to claim one of the biggest stacks in the room.
