Balea Puts a Massive Cooler on Stoica
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
There was already around 50,000 in the. middle as Roman Stoica, Dragos Pavaluca, and Nicolae Balea went to the river with the board showing 3?5?7?8?Q?.
Stoica, in the hijack, bet 33,000 and Pavaluca called on the button. Balea then moved all in for 115,000 in the small blind and Stoica tanked for about a minute before he called.
Pavaluca quickly got out of the way as Balae showed the nuts, A?9?. Stoica turned over K?10? for the second nut flush and snapped a picture of the board before watching most of his stack head over to Balea, who took over the chip lead with that pot.
