Banicevic Goes Back-to-Back
Level 32
: Blinds 750,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
Sebastian Ionita opened to 3,000,000 in middle position. Vlado Banicevic then committed his 10,000,000 in the cutoff, with Ionita making the call after the action had folded back to him.
Vlado Banicevic: J♥J♦ 
Sebastian Ionita: Q♦10♦
Banicevic did not want to hit a jack anymore after the 9♣A♦K♣ flop, but neither jack nor a queen were in store for Ionita on the 7♥ turn and 2♣ river.
Banicevic booked his second double-up in a row, overtaking Ionita in the counts.
