Valentin Vornicu

The player in the cutoff opened to 1,800, Ian O’Hara called on the button, and Valentin Vornicu defended his big blind to create three-way action.

The flop was QcTc4h. Vornicu checked, the cutoff continued for 2,700, and O’Hara called. Vornicu check-raised to 8,000, though, which was enough to fold the bettor out of the way. O’Hara called.

The turn was the Kd, and Vornicu bet 15,000. O’Hara only had around 20,000 chips left in front of him, and after several minutes in the tank, he moved all in. Vornicu didn’t seem to like it, but he called the small remainder to put O’Hara at risk.

O’Hara: Ac3c
Vornicu: Th8c

O’Hara was the one looking a little sour as the cards were turned up, and he couldn’t improve on the 9h river. He was eliminated, and his chips boosted Vornicu into six-figure territory.

Valentin Vornicu – 106,000 (133 bb)
Ian O’Hara – Eliminated
