Stoenescu Finds the Stones to Double

Andrei Stoenescu
Andrei Stoenescu

Andrei Stoenescu needed to find a hand, a spot, or anything to get his tournament heading in the right direction, and he found all of it to more than double.

He opened to 32,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 74,000 from Ivan Tikhov in mid position. Our friend, João Paulo Simão, wanted in on the action, and four-bet 153,000 from the small blind. He had to fold {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} though when both opponents moved in behind.

Stoenescu: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Tikhov: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}. The Romanian's aces held up.

Did anyone notice three clubs on the board? Simão certainly did!
