Niveau 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Federico Macori raised to 30,000 in early position as action folded to big blind Mihaita Croitoru, who pushed all in for 85,000. Macori asked for a count before calling.
Mihaita Croitoru: A♣9♣
Federico Macori: A♠10♦
Croitoru was dominated as both players hit their ace on the 2♠8♣A♥ flop. The turn, though, brought the 9♦ and Croitoru took the lead with two pair.
The river Q♠ was safe for Croitoru and he doubled up.
