Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aaron Sternheimer opened the action from early position with a raise to 10,000. Viorel Gavrila, sitting in the hijack, took a moment to ask how many chips Sternheimer had behind before deciding to go all-in. Without hesitation, Sternheimer snap-called.
When the cards were revealed, Gavrila quickly realized he was in trouble, holding K?Q? against Sternheimer’s dominant A?A?.
The board ran out 3?9?4?2?9?, offering no help to Gavrila. With no chance for a double-up, Gavrila was eliminated from the tournament.
