: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Every time I have passed Opria Cristea's table, and he has been involved in a pot, it's been involvement of the all-in preflop kind - he arrived today as a short stack and was still only on 30,000 when he finally got his break.
Two hands prior to this, he'd moved in when it passed to him on the cutoff, and patiently waited while big blind Matt Affleck decided whether or not to take him on. It was 26,000 to call, and Affleck admitted, "It's always good when you don't get snap-called..." before folding.
Cristea did get snap-called by Manuel Bevand though. This second shove came over Bevand's 5k raise and his now 30,500 was at risk with 
vs. the Frenchman's 
. It held; he's up to 64,000.
