Dragoita Shoves on Popa, Shows the Nuts; Penescu Done
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Marius Dragoita and Rares Cosmin Popa were heads-up on the river with the board showing Q♠10♦2♣5♣A♥ and around 35,000 in the middle.
Popa, under the gun, bet 16,000 before Dragoita moved all in for 56,000 on the button. Popa began talking to Dragoita seeking information as he thought about the decision for a few moments before mucking AxKx. Dragoita showed him K♥J♣ for the rivered straight as he took the pot.
Gabriel Penescu, who built up a chip-leading stack earlier in the day, was eliminated from this table shortly after doubling up Bogdan Berinde.
