Hill Kerby

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Virgil Grecu was in middle position and went all in for 420,000. He received a call from Nazar Buhaiov on the button and the two were off to the races once the remaining players in the hand folded.

Nazar Buhaiov:

The flop came in Buhaiov's favor, falling to give him aces up and leave Grecu in need of hitting one of the two remaining sevens to stay alive. The rest of the runout was all Buhaiov as well though, hitting an ace on the river to improve unnecessarily to a full house as the board came to result in Grecu's elimination.
