Veksler Sent to The Rail Before The Money; Plesuv The Beneficiary

It was a classic flip, with the board of benefitting Plesuv, as he held up to send Veksler to the rail. The man that sits atop the Moldova all-time money list has increased his stack to a very healthy amount. He will be certainly one to watch if he makes it to Day 2 with a stack like he currently has. His fellow compatriot, Dragos Trofimov (who sits second on that list) was pictured next to Chino Rheem earlier today, but has since bust.
