Grimberg Moves All In

DegenOnTour

Niveau 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Ionel Pruna raised from the cutoff to 500 and Andrei Grimberg three-bet from the button to 1,650. Pruna called as both players in the blinds folded their hand.

The flop came down and Pruna checked to Grimberg who continued his aggression with a bet of 1,250. Pruna decided to raise the bet to 6,000 and Grimberg moved all in rather quickly. Pruna had a decision to make and he ended up folding.

Grimberg was kind enough to show his opponent .

Veditti Doubles Up Dairen

DegenOnTour

Niveau 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

It seems that Carmine Venditti has been dealt an enormous cooler at the start of the Main Event. All the cards were already open on the table and the board read . Daire had in front of him for a set of eights and Venditti had in front of him for an overpair on the board.

Venditti shook his head as he gave almost all his chips to his left-hand neighbor.

Few River Cards

DegenOnTour

Niveau 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

There haven't been dealt a lot of river cards today in the tournament room in the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel. Most of the players are taking it easy with their 30,000 as the starting stack is still worth 100 big blinds in the current level.

Florian Udila, Jonathan Mermelstein, and Mate Mecs all took down pots either on the flop or on the turn.
