Eduard Norel
Eduard Norel

Eduard Norel raised to 50,000 from the cutoff, Cosmin Voinea called from the small blind, and Alin Pandilica defended his big blind. All players checked the {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop.

On the {J-Hearts} turn, Voinea and Pandilica checked to Norel, who bet 65,000. Both players in the blinds made the call.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Voinea opted to lead out 138,000. Pandilica folded instantly, Norel quickly called. Voinea mucked his hand face-down and Norel scooped up the substantial pot without showing his cards.

Cosmin Voinea
Cosmin Voinea

Georges Yazbeck raised to 60,000 under the gun and Cosmin Voinea called from the small blind. The flop was {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Voinea check-called 80,000 from Yazbeck. Both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn.

On the {10-Hearts} river, Voinea bet 145,000 and Yazbeck snap-called. Voinea quickly showed {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for the rivered two pair and Yazbeck flung open {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} with much disdain. Voinea clapped his hands, yelled, and ran to his rail to celebrate.

With the pot, Voinea is the first player to cross one million in chips.
