Ciuca Triples Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 3,000 ante
After Bogdan Berinde opened to 5,500 from early position and was called by Catalin Leahu to his left, Andrei Ciuca shoved for 26,000 from middle position.
Rares Popa decided to call in the cutoff. Berinde wanted more, so he raised all in for roughly 160,000, the biggest stack on the table. Leahu folded, and Popa went deep into the tank. He eventually folded.
Andrei Ciuca: Q♥Q♦
Bogdan Berinde: A♥K♥
On a board of J♣4♣9♥7♠9♣, Ciuca's queens held so he tripled up.
