Neagoe's Bullets Earm Him a Knockout

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Darius Neagoe
Darius Neagoe

There was a raise to 5,000 from middle position with Eusebiu Jalba calling from the cutoff before Darius Neagoe squeezed to 25,000 from the button. The middle position player four-bet ripped it for roughly 90,000 and only Neagoe called.

Middle Postion: JJ All in
Darius Neagoe: AA

It was a cooler that was in Neagoe's favor as he had the best starting hand in poker. The middle position player needed a jack, or he would be out. The board ran out 10410A2, which improved Neagoe to an unnecessary full house, and his opponent was sent to the rail.
