Iosub's Elimination Leaves Field One From the Money
Level 17
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
There with around 45,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 5♠2♥J♠ when Stefan Ionita fired 15,000, and Dragos Iosub raised to 45,000. Ionita called.
The 6♣ on the turn drew a check out of Ionita, then Iosub shoved for around 70,000 after a minute of thinking. Ionita snap-called.
Dragos Iosub: J♦9♦ 
Stefan Ionita: J♣5♥
Iosub had flopped top pair but was behind the two pair of Ionita with just one card to come. Only a nine or a six could save Iosub, but instead the K♣ dropped on the river, which sent him to the rail.
