Chiriac Gets a Double
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Aleksandr Savchenko opened to 6,500 from under the gun and received two middle-position calls before George Chiriac three-bet all in for 40,000 from the button. Savchenko went into the tank and eventually came over the top of Chiriac, isolating the two callers out of the pot.
George Chiriac: 
Aleksandr Savchenko: 
Chiriac was ahead and stayed there the whole way as the board ran out 
, scoring the double and sparing him from casualty among a room full of dealers yelling for open seats as the levels continue to climb.
