Paunescu Loses a Bunch Early On
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
"I win, queens no good," Ciprian Paunescu declared when the A?9?6?3?8? river was checked between him and Patrick Legrand. There were some 9,000 in the middle and Paunescu confidently rolled over the A?5? for the top pair.
Legrand had a queen in the hand but it was the A?Q?, as the superior kicker won the pot for Legrand.
