Croitoru Gets Lucky to Survive; O'Dwyer Contending For Chip Lead
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Federico Macori raised to 30,000 in early position as action folded to big blind Mihaita Croitoru, who pushed all in for 85,000. Macori asked for a count before calling.
Mihaita Croitoru: A?9?
Federico Macori: A?10?
Croitoru was dominated as both players hit their ace on the 2?8?A? flop. The turn, though, brought the 9? and Croitoru took the lead with two pair.
The river Q? was safe for Croitoru and he doubled up.
At the same table, Steve O'Dwyer is sitting behind a massive stack of more than 1,500,000.
