Voinea Takes Down Two Birds With One Stone

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Cosmin Voinea
Cosmin Voinea

Cosmin Voinea has blasted to the top of the leaderboard, courtesy of a massive three-way all in. It was Voinea who raised to 2,400 in early position. To his left, Viliyan Petleshkov shoved all in for 29,100. Two seats to Petleshkov's left, Graziano Carlo also went all in for 55,000.

When it was back on Voinea, he quickly counted out a call to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Cosmin Voinea: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Viliyan Petleshkov: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Graziano Carlo: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Voinea was in fantastic shape to knock out two players and did so after the dealer spread out a {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} board. With the pot, Voinea is now the new chipleader of the tournament.

Papazian Bluffs It Off

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Alexandru Papazian
Alexandru Papazian

Alexandru Papazian hasn't been able to come back from his early slump and was found on the rail.

"I bluffed it off," he laughed when PokerNews asked him about the details.

According to Papazian, he limped in with {J-}{10-} from the hijack with a stack of 26,000, and Hans Wenzelburger completed from the small blind. On an {A-}{Q-}{5-} flop with two spades, Papazian bet 2,000 with Wenzelburger as the only caller. Papazian bet 6,000 on the {8-} turn and went all in on the {7-} river.

Wenzelburger called both times with {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to knock out the EPT12 Monte Carlo €25,000 High Roller winner.

Uri Gilboa

After Shalev Halfa opened with a raise to 2,200, Uri Gilboa shoved for 15,000. Back on Halfa, the Israeli immediately called to put his countryman at risk.

Shalev Halfa: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Uri Gilboa: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

No help for Gilboa on {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and he came up short on his second bullet as well.
