Board Gets Scary For Mitracu's Flopped Nuts

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 10KQ, Alexandru Mitracu bet 7,000 from middle position and Sorin Flutur called in middle position.

The turn came the 8 and Mitracu bet another 14,000. Flutur again called to see the 4 river and checked over to Mitracu.

Mitracu slammed the felt in frustration and turned over AJ for the flopped straight. Flutur didn't have a diamond and instead showed KJ as Mitracu took down the pot despite the poor runout.
