Gheorghe Takes Out Rata
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Theodor Rata limped from under the gun before Stefan Gheorghe raised to 3,000 on the button. Pedro Gonzalez then three-bet to 9,000 and Rata called.
Gheorghe slid out a four-bet to 27,000 and both opponents tossed in the call. Gonzalez checked the 8?3?2? flop before Rata moved all in. Gheorghe raised and Gonzalez folded, leaving Rata at risk heads up.
Theodor Rata: 7?7? 
Stefan Gheorghe: J?J?
Gheorghe was well in front and remained there after the 6? turn and Q? river. Rata was eliminated while Gheorghe added a massive pot to his stack.
