Kristoff Sends Burlacu Home
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alexander Kristoff opened to 8,000 from early position and Robert Burlacu three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Kristoff who shoved all in, and Burlacu called off his last few thousand chips.
Robert Burlacu: A♣9♣ 
Alexander Kristoff: K♥K♣
Burlacu's situation went from bad to worse on the 5♦K♦4♦ flop as Kristoff improved to top set. It was running straight or flush cards that Burlacu needed but instead he got running nines as the 9♥ turn and 9♠ river improved him to trips, but gave Kristoff a full house.
