Beyer Finishes Off Ionita
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Stefan Ionita had managed to build his stack up to around 100,000 after taking the big hit against Jan Vunderer and moved all in again from early positon. Action folded to Markus Beyer in the big blind who took a peek at his cards and snap-called.
Stefan Ionita: Q♥Q♦ 
Markus Beyer: K♣K♦
Beyer showed Ionita the bad news when he flipped over his two kings. The board ran out 4♦10♦8♠6♥J♣ and Ionita was sent to the rail.
At the same time at another table, Aram Ali was all in for around 200,000 with two nines, but Viorel Gavrila picked up a pair of jacks and held up to send Ali off to collect his payout.
