Grecu and Pinter Bubble Day 1a

There were two all in and call at the same time when the dealers were instructed to halt the action. The hand-for-hand on the money bubble didn't kick off though, as two players were all in.

First up it was Virgil Grecu in a battle of the blinds for 51,000 and he faced Adrian Echave Samu.

The flop changed nothing as Pinter had the diamonds covered. The turn brought some chop outs but the river improved Echave Samu.

Gergo Pinter ended up all in for 129,000 as he called the push of Joao Lopes De Oliveira and had the best of it heading into the showdown.

The flop spelled trouble for Pinter and he suddenly needed a deuce or king as soon as the turn improved Lopes De Oliveira to a flush. A blank came on the river and Pinter also missed out on the money. Since the players have to make Day 2 to receive a portion of the prize pool, both Grecu and Pinter came up short and will have to try again.
