Iordache Thriving; Pons Loses a Chunk
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With just 15 minutes left in the level, the clocks are about to be stopped to draw for the final hands of the night. Teunis Kooij, Balkazs Biri, Benjamin Barkay and Andrei Iordache all chipped up while Fernando Pons took a hit to his stack.
Iordache bet the 
flop for 6,000 and picked up two callers including Oriol Gregori. Only the latter check-called another 12,500 on the 
turn and the 
river was checked. Iordache tabled 
as the winning hand.
As far as Pons is concerned, he had an opponent at risk for 42,500 and tabled 
for a gutshot straight flush draw on 
. He faced 
and couldn't get there on the 
turn and 
river run out.
