River Slows Down Avneya; Ciuca Takes Another Hit
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Four players went to the turn on a board of 5♣9♥6♣7♠ when Yosef Avneya bet 4,000 from early position. Only Marius Dragoita called in the big blind.
The river came the 9♣ and Dragoita checked over to Avneya, who then checked back and turned over 10♥8♥ for the turned straight to win the pot.
At the same time at another table, Andrei Ciuca and Andreia Coman had built a massive pot of around 30,000 heading to the river on a board of 7♥5♠6♥4♥A♠. Coman, in the hijack, then put out a single 25,000 chip.
Ciuca called and Coman turned over A♥J♥ for the nut flush as she dragged in the pot, nearly doubling her starting stack on the first level.
