Baltateanu Catches Lucky Jack To Stay Alive
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with close to 60,000 in the middle on a flop showing Q♣8♦6♥, Christopher Puetz moved all in from the small blind, covering the 45,500 remaining for Silviu Baltateanu in the big blind, who snap-called for his tournament life.
Silviu Baltateanu: J♣J♦
Christopher Puetz: A♠Q♦
Baltateanu saw the bad news and aggressively threw his cards face down towards the dealer. The hand was retrieved and fortunately for him, the turn came the J♥ to turn the tables on the hand. The inconsequential 7♠ completed the board and Baltateanu scored the full double up off Puetz.
While Baltateanu was collecting the pot, he was issued a warning from the tournament staff that if he tossed his cards face down again his hand would be dead.
