On a flop of 8♠9♠4♠, Curea continued with a bet of 700. Constantinescu folded, but Meltiade check-raised to 2,200. He made Curea fold.

Nicolae Madalin was under the gun when he raised to 500, and was called by Dan Ghiocel in the cutoff and by Alexandru Tudor in the big blind.
Madalin continued with a bet of 700 on the flop 10♠K♦4♠. Ghiocel called once again, but Tudor check-raised to 3,100. It took a long moment for Madalin to call, while Ghiocel folded easily.
The 9♣ came on the turn, and Tudor checked. Madalin then decided to bet 11,200, and put Tudor into the tank. And more than five minutes after the beginning of the hand, Tudor eventually folded.

Four players were on a flop of A♠J♥2♠ after they all limped preflop. But nobody wanted to bet at this point, as they all checked.
The 9♣ turn was checked by both players in the blinds, but Marius Culescu in middle position decided to bet to 800. He was quickly called by Mert Tozlu on the button, and by Petre Chiriac in the big blind.
The board was completed by the river 10♣, but all three of them checked. Culescu showed A♦5♦ and thought he had the win. But Tozlu had A♥8♦, so they split the pot.
