Petre Bogdan Ionescu moved all in under the gun for 150,000, Tim Capretta called from the hijack, and Jeremy Becker used a Time Chip to tank for a while before he folded his big blind.

Ionescu turned over Ad9d, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Capretta’s QhQd.

The board came Jh7d5sJs4s, and the queens held up for Capretta to win the pot and eliminate Ionescu in seventh place.
