Banic Shoves on Bulksas; Nus Survives on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ivan Banic raised to 13,000 in the cutoff, Linas Bulksas three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and Banic called.
The flop came J♦6♠2♣ and Bulksas bet 23,000. Banic called, and the Q♣ fell on the turn.
Bulksas then bet 65,000, and Banic this time came back with an all-in shove for 135,000. Bulksas quickly folded.
At another table, David Nus was all-in for 78,000 from the cutoff and up against Gary Whitehead in the small blind.
David Nus: A♥10♠ 
Gary Whitehead: J♣J♠
Nus needed to improve against Whitehead's jacks, and the flop came 6♦3♠9♦. The 8♦ turn gave him a straight draw, and Nus hit his straight on the 7♣ river to double up.
"Easy game," Nus said.
