Burlacu Finds a Miracle Double on the River
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Francesco Canzonieri raised to 450,000 on the button before Robert Burlacu reraised to 2,400,000 in the small blind, leaving himself just 125,000 behind. Canzonieri then moved all in and Burlacu committed his last chips.
Robert Burlacu: A♠4♦ 
Francesco Canzonieri: A♥J♥
The J♦10♣4♠ flop gave both players a pair, but Canzonieri was ahead with his jacks. The turn was the 2♥, but the 4♥ fell on the river to give Burlacu trips as he survived with a miraculous double up.
