Triple-Up for Tomescu
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened to 6,000 from the hijack, and was faced with a three-bet jam by George-Mircea Tomescu in the cutoff to 76,000.
Dan Djorno was in the small blind, and he cold-called, leaving himself about 180,000 behind. Sitbon promptly four-bet jammed with the covering stack, and Djorno went into the tank. After about two minutes he folded, claiming he had queens.
George-Mircea Tomescu: 7♥7♦ 
Julien Sitbon: A♣A♠
Tomescu was chasing a two-outer, and it arrived on the J♠7♣6♥ flop. The Q♦ hit on the turn, and Djorno put his head in his hands.
The 8♥ river completed the board, and Tomescu secured the triple-up.
