Lupascu's Stack Keeps Growing as he Busts Waisbord

Tyler Foran

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Matei Lupascu raised 80,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Laurent Waisbord in the small blind, who moved all in for 85,000. Johan Creutz was in the big blind and called before Lupascu tossed the extra chip in the middle.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♦Q♣9♣ and Creutz check-called a bet of 145,000 from Lupascu.

The 2♠ turn and 9♥ river were checked down, forcing all three hands to be shown.

Waisbord tabled A♦8♠, while Creutz showed A♣10♣, and Lupascu took down the pot with K♥8♥ making top pair.

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Igor Zolotukhin opened 60,000 in middle position, and Jeremie Canetti flatted on the button before Adrian State shoved his last 150,000 from the small blind. Zolotukhin re-raised all-in, forcing Canetti out and both hands were tabled.

Adrian State: A♥10♥
Igor Zolotukhin: A♦Q♠

State was dominated and the J♥8♣4♣ flop changed nothing, however, State took the lead on the 10♣ turn. Unfortunately for him though, the 9♥ river gave Zolotukhin a straight.
