Burneikis Wins Flip to Send One Home

HillKerby

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was opened to 2,400 by the under-the-gun-player and the person next to act called. Vladas Burneikis then three-bet to 15,500 from middle position, an amount that effectively committed himself against both remaining players. Action made its way back to the original opener and he went all in, prompting a quick fold from the player on his left and an immediate call from Burneikis thereafter.

All-In Player:
Vladas Burneikis:

Burneikis was in a coin flip situation with the opportunity to knock out a player and add a bit more to his stack. The flop fell , keeping him behind but giving him two additional outs to Broadway. The turn was safe for his opponent, but the river gave Burneikis just what he needed to send his opponent to the rail and earn him the pot.

Jurga Gives Opponent the Pile

HillKerby

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ladislav Jurga saw action folded to him in the hijack and pumped it up to 3,000. The player on the button threw in a three-bet to 8,500 and action made its way back to Jurga, who asked for an estimate of what the player had behind. The player cut out several stacks to show a visible 14,900 behind.

A few moments later, Jurga slid forward a stack of T5,000 chips that was more than enough to put his opponent all in. The player on the button decided that this wasn't his time and quickly sent his cards to the muck.

Grecu Doubles in Dramatic Fashion

HillKerby

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was heads up before the flop with the player on the button having 8,000 in front of him and a decision to make for even more chips as Virgil Grecu was all in from the big blind. The player took about a minute to think and then made the call.

Virgil Grecu:
Opponent:

A queen came in the window as the flop fell to give the player on the button one of his needed three outs to pull ahead. The turn left Grecu with one chance to double, and he knew the odds were against him as he began to push his seat back to get ready to stand up and leave the tournament area. He didn't get far, however, as the river fell before he could scoot back much at all, giving him two pair, kings and threes, to earn the double over his opponent's queens up.
