No Bluffing from Ionel

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Romanian Anton Ionel always plays with a big smile upon his face, but I guess that's easy to do when you've won a little less than two million dollars in 2011.

He's up to 34,000 today after flopping a set of queens in a three-way pot. He was up against Leo Fernandez and David Collins and raised pot brought about a {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop.

Collins was the aggressor and continued with a 1,025 bet, Ionel was next to act and raised to 3,275. Fernadez folded from the big blind but Collins called. The turn came {7-Spades} and Collins check-folded to Ionel's 4,140 bet and was shown to black queens.
