Smintanca is Wei ahead
Ilie Smintanca (pictured) was already a big stack when we caught him betting 80k on the river of a board. Wei Yeu, who'd checked to Smintanca, now had a serious decision to make. He went through two time bank tokens while he was deciding.
Eventually he called.
And mucked.
Smintanca turned over for a full house, and is now among our chip leaders on around 450k with about half a level left of Day 1. Yeu was left with around 50k.
