Gherghe Hits the Rail
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Razvan Gherghe opened to 35,000 from early position, leaving just 4,000 chips behind. Both Josef Schusteritsch from middle position and Georgios Vrakas from the button called.
The trio saw the 8♦4♣K♣ flop, and all of them checked. The turn brought the 4♠, and Gherghe moved all in for his remaining 4,000 chips. Schusteritsch called, but Vrakas raised to 50,000, forcing Schusteritsch to fold.
Razvan Gherghe: 2♦2♣
Georgios Vrakas: A♥4♥
Gherghe needed a deuce on the river to win against his opponent’s trips, but the river came J♥, and Gherghe was eliminated from the tournament.
