Baltateanu Hits the River
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Three pairs of cards went on their backs on Table 1, with a first player in middle position all in for 6,300, a second one at risk too for 51,500, and Silviu Baltateanu in the small blind who held the biggest stack.
Middle position player 1: Q♦8♥
Middle position player 2: K♠K♦
Silviu Baltateanu: A♠10♥
The hijack player was on his way to double up after the flop 8♦3♦9♣ and the turn 7♥. But the A♣ landed on the river to give top pair to Baltateanu, who took this big pot and eliminated his two opponents.
Moments later, the table broke.
