Larsen Dodges Everything to Double

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Birger Larsen
Birger Larsen

Birger Larsen opened to 60,000 from the cutoff, before being faced with a three-bet to 250,000 from Adrian Cazacu in the small blind.

Larsen responded with a four-bet jam to 970,000, and Cazacu, who had about 1,800,000 behind, went into the tank. After about 90 seconds he made the call.

Cazacu flipped over K♦Q♦, and as he did so Larsen got out of his chair, rubbed his cards for luck, and flipped pocket nines.

Birger Larsen: 9♦9♠ All in
Adrian Cazacu: K♦Q♦

Larsen was ahead in a flip but the 10♦6♦4♥ flop spelt danger, Cazacu picking up a flush draw.

The J♠ turn was about the best card Cazacu could ask for without hitting anything, giving him an up and down straight draw as well.

Larsen now had to dodge a significant amount of outs, and when the brick 10♥ river hit, he celebrated wildly, pumping his fist, shouting "Yes" and heading over to the rail to hug a friend.
