Balint Doubles Up
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The action was folded round to Iosif Balint on the button, who opened to 15,000. Daniel Erlandsson three-bet all in from the big blind, putting Balint at risk if he made the call. After some thought, Balint called for his remaining stack of 89,000.
Iosif Balint: K♠Q♣
Daniel Erlandsson: A♠5♣
Balint needed some help, finding it as the J♦4♠7♥Q♦3♦ runout brought a pair of queens on the turn and the double-up.
