Ionel on a Roll

Anton Ionel
Anton Ionel

Anton Ionel won back to back pots to become the chip daddy on his table with 56,000 chips.

In the first hand he raised to 800 from the cut-off after an early position limp. Carlos Da Silva called on the button before Robin Graffouillere put in another raise, to 2,200, from the big blind. Ionel and Da Silva called and the three players headed to a {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop.

Graffouillere continued for 4,000 and Ionel was the only caller to the {q-Diamonds} turn. Both players checked to the {7-Diamonds} river where the Romanian's 3,600 bet was check snap-called by Graffouillere. Ionel tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and took the pot as his opponent mucked.

The next hand Marcin Horecki's min raise was called in three spots, but it was Ionel who had the post flop betting reigns in his hands. His 1,700 flop bet thinned the field to two players, and his 3,800 turn bet was enough to take the pot down. The board read {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Ionel opened the drawing {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} before raking in more chips.
