With nine rings under his belt, Valentin Vornicu is one of the WSOP Circuit legends. To be such a superstar who wins event after event, one certainly has to have skills to extract value anywhere where it's possible.
Vornicu proved his talent in praxis, playing in a multi-way pot on the board. After the betting round, the showdown was reduced to just the Circuit hero and one other player.
"We might be chopping," said Vornicu, turning over his for a rivered boat.
"Oh, I'm one street too late," replied his opponent, showing for a turned full house.
The pot went Vornicu's way, and so did the following two. The next hand saw Vornicu flat after a raise from an early position. He was in the lowjack and invited the hijack and big blind to the contest, too, but then took it himself with a bet on the ace-high flop.
The next hand brought an open from Vornicu's right-hand opponent, and he flatted again. The big blind called as well as they went to the flop. Again, it was Vornicu who tried to increase the pot, with a bet worth 2,700. Only big blind accepted.
Vornicu barreled the turn with an additional 5,600, and the big blind check-called again.
The river was the and the player in the big blind checked to Vornicu yet again. Vornicu fired once more, making it 6,600. The big blind folded, and Vornicu took down a third pot in a row.

The day started so promisingly for Rory Henton, winning a few early pots and getting dealt good cards is just a great feeling in poker and he was loving his World Series of Poker adventure.
Unfortunately, it has come to a premature end for Henton and he was walking away from the table after being eliminated. He still had a smile on his face and told PokerNews he was not planning to rebuy at this time.
