Balea Goes Runner-Runner For a Double
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of J♠4♥2♦, Nicolae Balea moved all in for 190,000 from the small blind and Gheorghe Velcea snap-called in early position.
Nicolae Balea: A♥10♦
Gheorghe Velcea: Q♠J♥
Balea was far behind Velcea's pair of jacks as the 10♥ turn gave him some outs. The 10♠ fell on the river and Balea made trip tens for a miracle double up.
