Vornicu Keeps Rolling

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Valentin Vornicu is crushing his table, and he captured another chunk just now. Vornicu needed a bit of luck to do so as his {A-Spades}{3-Clubs} was trailing to his opponent's {A-}{K-}.

A loss woudn't hurt Vornicu's stack much as his opponent had only a few remaining big blinds. Nonetheless, Vornicu spiked a three on the board to score the elimination.

Vornicu is the 2002 International Mathematics Olympiad bronze medalist, and he showed his mathematic brains right at the table.

He quickly cut his piles of chips, declaring "one-seventy-five" in the blink of an eye. If there is a trustworthy player who can provide an accurate chip-count, it must be Valentin Vornicu. That being said, he's maneuvering one of the bigger stacks in the remaining field.
