Ioan Takes the Lead After Double Knockout

Short stack Alpar Soos moved all in for 13,700 from the cutoff and Alexander Ioan called on the button. Dan Chisu moved all in for 42,000 out of the big blind and Ioan snap-called.

Alpar Soos: {10c}:::7h
Dan Chisu: {10h}{10s}
Alexander Ioan: :::Kc:::Kd

Both Soos and Chisu knocked the table and said "nice hand" before the showdown even proceeded. There was a glimpse of hope, though, with a gutshot for both players at risk on the board :::9c:::6d:::6h:::7s:::3s, but Ioan’s kings held up to score the double knockout.

Alexander Ioan	250,000	40,000
Dan Chisu	0	-27,000
Alpar Soos	0
