Gicovanu Takes From Judet

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Toni Judet opened to 65,000 with the {A-Diamonds} showing and Marius Gicovanu in the big blind came along with the {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

They checked the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop and on the {2-Hearts} turn, Gicovanu checked and called a bet of 85,000. The {6-Spades} river was checked once more and Gicovanu won the pot with his pair of queens, as Judet mucked.

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Espen Uhlen Jorstad
Espen Uhlen Jorstad

Cristian Grecu raised to 60,000 with the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Espen Uhlen Jorstad, who had posted the big blind ante, called with {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts} and 70,000 behind. Jorstad moved all in after the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and Grecu flicked in the call with the flush draw.

The {8-Spades} turn was a blank and the {9-Clubs} river gave Grecu, who was already ahead, a pair of nines. Jorstad had to settle for 7th place and a payday of €12,150.

Gicovanu Cracks Jacks to Double

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Espen Uhlen Jorstad raised to 60,000 with the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} on the button and Marius Gicovanu jammed for 765,000 in the small blind with the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, which Jorstad quickly called.

The {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop gave Gicovanu a set and Jorstad needed running clubs, running tens or a jack. A sweat came with the {K-Clubs} turn, but the {4-Hearts} river was a blank to leave Jorstad very short.

Catalin Moraru Eliminated in 8th Place (€8,930)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Catalin Moraru
Catalin Moraru

Martin Soukup raised to 60,000 with the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Catalin Moraru three-bet to 205,000 on the button with the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Soukup gave it plenty of consideration before four-betting to 1,310,000, which covered the remaining stack of more than 30 big blinds of Moraru. Eventually, the call by Moraru for 1,015,000 followed and they were off to the races.

The board came {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs} and that sent Moraru to the rail in 8th place for €8,930.

Soukup further increased his lead on the way to a possible second Unibet Open title.

Small Pot for Moraru

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Cristian Grecu raised to 65,000 with {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} on the button and Catalin Moraru defended {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} in the big blind. On the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, Moraru check-called a bet of 75,000 to see the {8-Clubs} on the turn and checked once more. Grecu checked behind and the {K-Spades} paired the board on the river.

Moraru checked the third street in a row and Grecu gave up the pot to see Moraru claim the pot with the minor kicker advantage.

Set for Drusca

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stefan Drusca raised to 65,000 with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Cristian Grecu called in the small blind with the {J-Spades}{9-Spades}, as did Traian Bostan with {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} in the big blind. They checked the {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop went checked through and the {Q-Clubs} came on the turn. Grecu took the lead with a bet of 120,000 and Bostan came along with a the pair and flush draw.

Drusca raised to 400,000 and Grecu reluctantly folded, as did Bostan, to see Drusca jump into the lead.
