Voinea Gets Another One Through

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Alin Pandilica raised to 40,000 under the gun and Georges Yazbeck called to his left. In the big blind, Cosmin Voinea shoved 404,000 and Pandilica snap-folded. Yazbeck needed longer to come to a decision but threw his hand in the muck as well.

Voinea, who's sporting the biggest amount of support on the rail, ran to his friends to deliver some high-fives.

Pandilica Loses Heaps, Then Doubles Back

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Alin Pandilica
Alin Pandilica

In a pot that saw no action until the river, Dawid Bowkowski bet 30,000 on a {4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board. Alin Pandilica put in a massive raise to 200,000 but Borkowski called it off without hesitation.

Pandilica showed {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a flush but Borkowski showed {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a higher flush to win the hand.

Pandilica was left with 175,000, which he shipped directly from the cutoff in the hand after. Borkowski made the call from the small blind to put the former chipleader at risk.

Alin Pandilica: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Dawid Borkowski: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

No sweat for Pandilica on {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and he got some of his chips back.

After paying another round of antes and the big blind, Alexandru Cinca was down to 108,000. After Georges Yazbeck raised to 42,000 from the cutoff, Cinca put in his stack from the small blind. Yazbeck quickly called off the extra chips.

Alexandru Cinca: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Georges Yazbeck: {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Cinca was in great shape to double up but faced some reverse domination after the {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop. Cinca needed an ace but didn't find one of the {2-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river.

His attempt to win the High Roller ended in 7th place and he received �10,050.
