Browne Runs into Rus' Ladies
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Netto Libardi raised to 36,000 from early position with Stephen Browne calling from the button and Daire Burke calling out of the small blind. Mircea Rus then squeezed to 135,000 out of the big blind. Libardo folded, but Browne opted to shove his stack of around 225,000 into the middle. Burke folded, but Rus snap-called.
Stephen Browne : 10♣10♦ 
Mircea Rus : Q♦Q♠
Browne was in trouble with pocket tens and looked poised to be headed to the cashier's desk. The A♦Q♥3♣ flop gave Rus a set, and the 4♠ turn left Browne drawing dead. The 4♥ hit the river to give Rus a boat, and Browne was out of the tournament.
