Duta Struggling For Momentum
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Florian Duta opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by a player in middle position, the cutoff and the big blind.
The big blind checked following the 
flop and Duta continued for 4,500. That got a fold from the middle position player and the big blind but the cutoff made the call to see a turn.
Both players checked through the board pairing 
turn to the 
river at which point Duta checked once more. His opponent, unwilling to go to a cheap showdown, pushed 11,000 into the middle. Duta thought for a moment before making the call but mucked after the cutoff tabled 
to leave the Romanian, who already flamed out on one bullet during this flight, short.
