Jurcuta Flipped Out by Walter
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Paul Jurcuta opened from middle position to 8,000 and Andreas Walter three-bet from the hijack to 20,000. When the action got back to Jurcuta, he shoved for around 70,000, and Walter quickly called.
Paul Jurcuta: 8♣8♦ 
Andreas Walter: A♥K♦
Jurcuta was the at-risk player and fell behind on the K♣2♣5♥ flop as Walter paired his king. Only a snowman or running clubs could save Jurcuta, and the 2♦ turn eliminated the chance of a backdoor flush. The 4♠ river was also no help, which meant Jurcuta hit the rail as the money bubble edged closer.
