After a raise to 800 by Denis Gergoc in the cutoff, Florin Mihaila three-bets to 1,900. This prompts a four-bet from Gergoc to 4,700 and a call from Mihaila.
On the flop, Mihaila check-calls a bet of 1,700 from Gergoc to see the turn.
After another check by Mihaila, Gergoc bets 2,500 and Mihaila check-raises to 10,500 which Gergoc calls.
On the river, Mihaila moves all in for 16,500 and after some thought, Gergoc calls.
Mihaila stands up ready to leave as he shows his for queen-high and an ambitious Level 1 bluff gone wrong as a disbelieving Gergoc shows his for a winning pair of tens to take a huge early pot.
Mihaila has since re-entered the tournament with a fresh 30,000 chips.
Denis Gergoc – 71,000 (355 bb)
Florin Mihaila – 30,000 (150 bb)
