Iftimia Out on Cracked Aces
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Marius Iftimia opened to 16,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 44,000 by Julio Chia Cabrera in the hijack. Action folded back around to Iftimia, who announced he was all in for around 120,000 total. Cabrera quickly called and hands were revealed.
Marius Iftimia: A♥A♣
Julio Chia Cabrera: J♥J♣
Iftimia was in good shape to double with his rockets, but the 5♠7♦J♦ flop vaulted Cabrera into the lead with a set of jacks.
The 7♠ turn and 8♥ river failed to improve Iftimia and he was eliminated.
