Virlanuta Risks Tournament Life
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was picked up preflop where there was an all in and a call between Mats Nylander and Marian Virlanuta.
Nylander in the cutoff called a reraise from Virlanuta on the button to 80,000.
Marian Virlanuta: A♦J♠
Mats Nylander: A♥10♠
The flop of 3♦J♦4♠ gave Virlanuta top pair top kicker, and the 5♣ turn presented chop possibilities in a straight.
Virlanuta held when the river 10♥ came and he scooped the pot.
