Penescu Puts on His Jacket, Nails the River
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Cosmin Penescu was all in for around 450,000 from the button and up against Min Ji in the cutoff.
Cosmin Penescu: J♥J♦
Min Ji: K♥K♠
Penescu was crushed by Ji's kings and at risk of elimination as the flop came 10♦4♥K♠, giving Ji top set. The Q♥ fell on the turn and Penescu was already standing up from his seat with his jacket on preparing to make his exit.
The river, though, brought the 9♣ and Penescu made a straight to double up. "Yes," he yelled out, loudly clapping his hands together.
"He put the jacket on again," Teodor Evstratiev said.
