Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Traian Stanciu raised to 650,000 from the button with J♦10♦ and Priamo Carta defended his big blind with 8♣7♦.
On the Q♣8♠5♦ flop, Priamo check-raised to 2,600,000 versus a bet of 1,300,000 from Stanciu. Stanciu called.
The 2♠ rolled off on the turn, and Carta slid out a bet of 1,500,000. Stanciu again called.
The J♠ river completed the board, putting Stanciu into the lead with a pair of jacks, and Carta checked. Stanciu moved all in for 14,000,000, sending his opponent deep into the tank.
Carta burnt through a time extension and folded.
