Gheorghe Takes Out Rata
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Theodor Rata limped from under the gun before Stefan Gheorghe raised to 3,000 on the button. Pedro Gonzalez then three-bet to 9,000 and Rata called.
Gheorghe slid out a four-bet to 27,000 and both opponents tossed in the call. Gonzalez checked the 8♠3♣2♥ flop before Rata moved all in. Gheorghe raised and Gonzalez folded, leaving Rata at risk heads up.
Theodor Rata: 7♠7♦ 
Stefan Gheorghe: J♣J♥
Gheorghe was well in front and remained there after the 6♥ turn and Q♦ river. Rata was eliminated while Gheorghe added a massive pot to his stack.
