A Favorable Runout for Valentin Vornicu

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A player opened with a raise to 13,000. Valentin Vornicu three-bet to 30,000 and the original raiser four-bet jammed for about 150,000. Vornicu called to put his opponent at risk.

Vornicu: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {4-}{4-}

The board ran out {K-}{Q-}{3-}{K-}{Q-} to counterfeit Vornicu's opponent's pocket fours and make Vornicu's nine high the winning hand. As he stacked his chips, he shouted to William Kassouf a few tables away, "Hey, Will! I just won with nine high like a boss!"

"Oh yeah? Well I just won with six high like a boss and showed it," yelled Kassouf.
