Malis Finishes Off Vornicu

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Valentin Vornicu

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Picking up the action after the first draw, Valentin Vornicu had basically all of his chips already in the pot. For good measure, Kevin Malis bet 100 to put Vornicu in for the rest and Vornicu called.

Vornicu took two and Malis took one. Vornicu then fake put in a bet from the stack he already had in the pot.

"Wait, there's still betting?" Malis said laughing and reaching for chips before Vornicu let on that he was joking.

Vornicu then took two again and Malis took one.

"Can you show first so I know what I have to beat?" Vornicu asked.

Malis obliged and showed {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}.

"You drew an eight?" Vorincu said, astonished.

"You don't need to draw a two if you're drawing to an eight, they told me," Malis said.

Vornicu peeled up his first card and revealed paint, a {K-}.

"Oh great, I'm dead," Vornicu said peeling his other card which was a {6-} to go with his {7-}{5-}{2-}. "I wish I would've peeled that one first."

With that, Vornicu made his exit and headed to the payout desk.
