Dan’s the Man

Dan Murariu looks very much at ease here – and why not? He’s won one of these already, and is completely in his element.

Just now I witnessed him calmly betting a hefty 5,700 from the button on the river of a :::2d :::4s :::7d :::Kc :::3d board, prompting a lengthy dwell from his early-position opponent. Eventually the other player decided it wasn’t worth it and folded; Murariu’s expression was one of perfect equanimity as he raked in the pot, bumping his stack up to 29,000.
