Folescu Runs Into Aces, Busts
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Cristian Folescu opened to 60,000 in early position, and Alex Fitzgerald three-bet to 138,000 on his direct left. The action folded back to Folescu, who went into the tank. He then moved all in for 1 million chips, and Fitzgerald looked back at his cards to make sure they hadn't changed, then called.
Showdown
Folescu: 
Fitzgerald: 
The 
was pretty awful for Folescu, and the 
on the turn took away his backdoor chop outs. The 
on the river ended the hand, and Folescu's 2012 PCA Main Event.
Fitzgerald is now well over 2 million chips, and battling for the chip lead.
