Burlacu Cracks Henriques' Kings For a Lucky Double
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Robert Burlacu moved all in for 250,000 in middle position and Daniel Henriques called under the gun.
Robert Burlacu: K♥J♥ 
Daniel Henriques: K♣K♠
Burlacu had run right into Henriques' kings and was at risk of elimination until the flop brought J♣J♠6♠, giving him trips. The board ran out 4♠7♣ and Burlacu doubled up.
"Wow. What a lucky man. I knew he was going to win. I know him," tablemate Alain Hajj said.
"How do you jam before the flop with king-jack, 11, 12 big blinds?" Hajj added.
"Now my mother won't give me money to play anymore," Burlacu replied.
