Petre Not Crumbling to Hairabedian's Pressure

[user140525]

Petre Ionescu opened to 3,800, and when action folded to him in the blinds, Roger Hairabedian raised to 9,800. Ionescu froze for several minutes, then pulled his bet back and made it 30,000 total. Hairabedian sighed and mucked his {a-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} face up. "Good hand," said Ionescu, keeping his cards to himself. Hairabedian is down to 87,000 from a start-of-day stack of just over 100,000.
