Runcan Flops the Wheel and Busts Michalak

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Paul Runcan

On a flop of 524, Jakub Michalak checked from under the gun and Paul Runcan bet 18,000 from the hijack. Michalak check-raised to 60,000 and Runcan carved out the call.

The two players checked the 4 turn to see the J come on the river. Michalak bet 140,000 with just 30,000 behind. Runcan shoved and Michalak begrudgingly called for the last of his chips.

Jakub Michalak: KxJx All in
Paul Runcan: A3

Michalak had just a pair of jacks and was second best to flopped wheel for Runcan, meaning Michalak busted just before the end of the day.
