Runcan, Boulton Fall on Back-to-Back Hands

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Paul Runcan
Paul Runcan

Nazar Buhaiov bet 75,000 from middle position on a flop of 982 and Paul Runcan called in the big blind.

The turn was the J and Buhaiov bet another 175,000. Runcan then moved all in for 430,000, and Buhaiov snap-called.

Runcan showed AJ for top pair, but Buhaiov had QQ. The river 6 was no help to Runcan, and he was sent to the rail.

The next hand at this table, Joshua Boulton raised to 275,000 in middle position and Mihai Tabac called in the hijack.

Boulton checked the A109 flop, and Tabac bet enough to put Boulton all-in. Boulton had around 40,000 remaining and used up several time banks before calling.

Joshua Boulton: 66 All in
Mihai Tabac: AK

Tabac had flopped top pair to take the lead, and Boulton couldn't catch up on the 8 turn and 4 river as he followed Runcan to the payout desk.
