Balea Cracks Aces With Big Blind Special
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of Q♠10♥6♥ in a blind versus blind battle, Nicolae Balea bet 55,000 before Thomas Vetter raised to 180,000. Balea then moved all in and Vetter snap-called for around 250,000 more.
Thomas Vetter: A♦A♥
Nicolae Balea: 9♥3♥
Balea spiked the 8♥ on the turn to make a flush, leaving Vetter needing to hit another heart on the river to stay alive. He instead saw the K♠ fall and was sent to the rail.
