Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan Eliminated in 11th Place ($28,900)

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan
Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan

Mihai Niste raised the button to 500,000 and Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan defended his big blind.

Moldovan checked when the A9Q flop came down and Niste put out a continuation-bet of 400,000. Moldovan thought for a while before he check-shoved for roughly 1,800,000. Niste quickly called and the cards were turned over.

Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan: J9 All in
Mihai Niste: A2

Moldovan was behind right now with bottom pair against Niste's top pair. The 6 turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 7 river. Moldovan was out in eleventh and the tournament was one more elimination away from the final table.
