Baltateanu Tries to Steal From Chen, Gets There on the River Anyway

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Silviu Baltateanu
Silviu Baltateanu

Silviu Baltateanu and Andrew Chen built a pot of around 8,000 as they saw a flop of 42A. Both players then checked and the 10 fell on the turn.

Baltateanu moved all in for 18,000 in the hijack and Chen snap-called on the button. Baltateanu had 43 for a pair and straight draw, but he was trailing Chen's AK.

The 5 river gave Baltateanu his straight and earned him a double up. "You checked the flop. It's never an ace. I tried to bluff," Baltateanu said to Chen as he took in the pot.
