Paunescu Catches Banic Making a Move
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action folded to Ivan Banic in the small blind who raised enough to put Nicolae Paunescu all in from the big blind. Paunescu called for his last 360,000.
Nicolae Paunescu: A♦7♠ 
Ivan Banic: 6♥4♥
Both players hit a pair on the A♣6♣9♦ flop, but Paunescu was ahead with a pair of aces and held on through the K♠ turn and 2♦ river to double up.
