Bilea Loses his Chips, Then Doubles Up
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Gheorghe Bilea limped from under the gun, then called after the small blind raised to 9,000.
On a flop of A♦9♥10♣, the small blind slowly bet 6,000, and Gheorghe Bilea quickly called. However, he folded after the small blind bet 1,500 on the turn 7♦.
In the following hand, Bilea, in the big blind, went all-in for 25,500 against the same player, who called from the button.
Gheorghe Bilea: Q♦J♠
Button player: K♠J♣
Bilea stood up, seemingly prepared to leave as he was on the edge of elimination after the flop A♦2♠6♠ and the turn 5♣. However, he was saved by the Q♠ on the river, which gave him a pair and allowed him to double up.
