2018 Unibet Open Bucharest
Players are now on an hour long dinner break. Blinds will be 4,000/8,000 with a big blind ante of 8,000 when play resumes.
Alexandru Gavrilut found a good spot to jam his short-stack of 11 big blinds when the action folded to him on the button. Petre Laurentiu Chiriac in the big blind ask for a count.
He has been smiling and joking around at the table and eventually folded face-up. He then motioned to Gavrilut to find out if this was a good fold.
Chiriac let out a laugh of joy after Chiriac showed that he wasn't jamming light and turned over for the table.
Since the final table began it has been mostly slowball with many pots being won preflop and many others being taken down with just one postflop bet.

Jack Sinclair was congratulated for making the final table despite him being low on chips most of the day. Sinclair has been on final tables in bigger spots, including at the 2017 WSOP Main Event where he took eighth place for $1.2 million, but shared he was excited to be at the final table in the High Roller.
"Getting on the final table means a lot," said Sinclair.
Although the money is nice, getting his ninth The Hendon Mob flag of the year appeared to be also important.
"I got the Romanian flag," Sinclair said with a smile. "That is very important to me. I have only had two stops this year where I haven't been able to get a flag. Although there is no reward for getting flags, perhaps their should be as it shows a true dedication to traveling for the grind."
While Sinclair's ninth flag of the year doesn't put him that close the the 12 flags earned this year thus far by Finland's Henri Ovaska, it does place him in second place on the leaderboard.
Cosmin Voinea opened from early position for 12,000 and got a call from Petre Laurentiu Chiriac from one seat over.
Paraskevas Tsokaridis three-bet jammed from the next seat to 56,000. Voinea four-bet jammed over the top for around 130,000 and Chiriac folded.
Cosmin Voinea:
Paraskevas Tsokaridis:
Tsokaridis won the flip and earned a double-up after the board didn't improve his opponent's hand.
