Birgaoanu Spikes Vital Set
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andrei Birgaoanu shoved in his stack of 65,000 from middle position, and Felix Weis looked him up on the button.
Andrei Birgaoanu: 8♥8♦ 
Felix Weis: J♥J♦
It seemed all over for Birgaoanu after the 7♦Q♥9♠ flop, but the 8♣ turn provided him with a set for a huge lead. The Q♣ river was of no use to Weis, who cut out the required chips from his stack.
