Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ciprian Hrisca raised to 17,000, and small blind Christophe Wemelbeke decided to make it all in for 49,000. "I call," announced Hrisca, and did just that. On their backs.

Wemelbeke: {J-Clubs}

Hrisca:

Flop:

-- dangerous...

Turn: {2-Diamonds}

-- innocuous...

River: {J-Spades}

-- absolutely the last card that Wemelbeke wanted to see, and thus disastrous.

They shake hands, and Wemelbeke is out in 30th place.
