Grasu Busts Chalk in Cooler
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Andrew Chalk opened to 1,200 under the gun, Xavier Sitruk called in the next seat, as did Bogdan Ionescu on the button.
Action folded to Alin Grasu in the big blind, who raised to 8,000.
Chalk moved all in relatively quickly for around 20,000, Sitruk and Ionescu got out of the way and Grasu made the quick call, with Chalk at risk.
Andrew Chalk: Q♣Q♦
Alin Grasu: A♦A♥
Chalk had run his queens into Grasu's aces and the J♦5♣4♦3♣K♠ runout did not alter the position, sending Chalk to the exit.
