Belea Keeps Climbing
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 8♣2♥J♣, Razvan Belea bet 15,000 from the button and Maksims Gorbacs called in the big blind, as did Valentin Cristea in early position.
The turn came the 9♣ and action checked to Belea again, who this time fired out 36,000. Only Cristea called to the 4♦ river, where both players checked.
Cristea showed AxKx, but Belea had 9♥8♥ for two pair to win the pot and add to his already massive stack.
