Tomescu's Bold Bet Pays Off
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The board showed 10?A?8?2?7? with a pot of around 26,800 when Piotr Zapolski checked to George Tomescu. Tomescu responded with an overbet of 65,000, nearly putting Zapolski's entire stack at risk.
After a tense three-minute tank, Zapolski decided to make the call. Tomescu revealed A?8? for two pair, aces and eights. That was enough for Zapolski, who quickly mucked his cards, now left as the short stack at the table with just 8,200.
