Double Elimination as Josanu Cracks Set With Runner-Runner Straight
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ionut Josanu raised to 2,200 from middle position and Peter Phanmaha called. Jonathan Vignone then moved all in from late position for 19,500. Both Josanu and Phanmaha called. Three players flipped their cards, with both Vignone and Phanmaha at risk.
Jonathan Vignone: 8♦8♥
Peter Phanmaha: A♠J♣
Ionut Josanu: A♥K♣
The board ran out 7♦Q♠8♣10♦J♠. Vignone made a set of eights on the flop and it looked like the pot was his to win. That was until Josanu made the nuts with a runner-runner straight on the river. He scooped a huge pot that brought him up to over 130,000 chips.
Both Phanmaha and Vignone were eliminated from the tournament.
