Rusu Runs Queens Into Aces

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After Andre Filipe Moreira Marques opened for 10,000 from under the gun, Mirko Mirovic three-bet to 30,000 from early position. Catalin Rusu, in middle position, shoved for about 130,000. It folded around and, after Marques let his cards go, Mirovic snapped.

Mirko Mirovic: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Catalin Rusu: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Rusu was beside himself as he found himself way behind Mirovic's aces.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Mirovic earned himself a huge double up to nearly a quarter of a million chips.

The Romanian had gone to the last break with a whopping 224,000 and now finds himself with less than 20,000 chips 20 minutes later.

Kuliberda Makes Sneaky Trap with Aces, Stuns Kaggerud's Kings

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Robert Kaggerud opened from early position and Dawid Kuliberda flatted from the hijack.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Kaggerud checked over to Kuliberda, who bet 6,000. Kaggerud shoved for around 70,000 and Kuliberda snapped it off.

Robert Kaggerud: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Dawid Kuliberda: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Kuliberda couldn't believe his luck as Kaggerud was holding onto pocket kings, which included the king of clubs. However, the Pole had the ace of clubs and Kaggerud was drawing to two outs.

The {j-Clubs} came on the turn and the {10-Clubs} completed the board, which gave Kuliberda the better flush and eliminated Kaggerud in shocking fashion.

Kuliberda exclaimed: "That couldn't have worked out any better, huh?"

Van Gent Tank-Folds to Moldovan's River Shove

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the board reading {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} with 40,000 in the middle, Cornelis Van Gent, from the cutoff, put in a bet of 17,600.

Ionut Alexandru Moldovan, from the big blind, moved all in for 75,800 total. Van Gent then went into the tank for over six minutes. The floor was called and shortly after he was given his 30 seconds to make a decision, he opted to fold.

"Nice bluff," Van Gent told Moldovan. "It's good for the game."
