Valentin Vornicu Takes Down Massive Pot
With a flop of Valentin Vornicu (pictured from an earlier event) check-calls a bet of 1600 from his opponent. The turn is the and Vornicu leads out for 3,000 and his opponent raises to 7,000. Vornicu calls.
The river is the and Vornicu checks. His opponent carefully puts out a bet of 15,000. Vornicu sighs, thinks for a moment, shrugs and calls. His opponent slides his cards to the dealer who quickly slides them into the muck. Vornicu asks to see the cards but it's too late so he reveals for a club flush. That pot moves Vornicu up to the top of the chip counts, something he has done several times so far this year at the WSOP. He has four cashes already this summer with his best being a 15th place finish in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed tournament.
