Geller Doubles Through Tarlev
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On the 
turn with 36,000 in the middle, Maya Geller ended up all in and at risk for 24,300 and Petru Tarlev looked her up with the superior stack.
Maya Geller: 
Petru Tarlev: 
Both had flopped trips, but Geller's kicker would play to ensure a full double as the 
river was a blank.
Right as the hand played out, Juan Bastida Perez arrived one seat over. The Spaniard had been a possible contender for the Day 1a top spot not long ago, but recently paid off a 10,000 bet by Ramlal Basdeo, who turned over 
for a turned full house on a 
board.
