Ronnie Marland made it 240,000 from the Button. Ion Oprea called from the Small Blind, and Deniz Orhan defended his Big Blind.
Action was checked to Marland on the 5♠8♠K♣ flop, who continued for 320,000. Oprea made the call before Orhan folded.
Oprea check-called a 725,000 bet from Marland on the 3♦ turn. On the 4♣ river, Oprea checked again, and Marland now forced his opponent all in for roughly 2,300,000. Oprea spent a minute or two contemplating, and eventually, he made the call.
Ronnie Marland: K♠5♦
Ion Oprea: 10♥8♥
There won’t be any “Sunshine Double” for Oprea; the Mini Main Event winner will have to settle with a third place in the Main for £10,200. It’s safe to say that Oprea had a good week at the Manchester235 Casino.
The stage is now set for a Heads-up battle between Marland and Orhan, with Marland holding the chip lead.
Ronnie Marland: 9,050,000
Deniz Orhan: 3,100,000
Ion Oprea: 0
