Varnaev Doubles With Big Slick
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On the direct bubble, Mircea Flutur raised to 50,000 and Sergei Varnaev three-bet to 200,000 with 150,000 behind. When it got back to Flutur he did a bit of inventory before he four-bet shoved to put Varnaev all in. Varnaev called.
Sergei Varnaev: A♣K♠ 
Mircea Flutur: 8♦8♣
Varnaev had direct bubbled the Warm Up earlier this series, and if he couldn't find some help with his Big Slick, he would have earned his second title of bubble boy in a week.
However, the 3♣K♥5♦ flop put him firmly in the lead with top pair. The 2♣ turn and Q♦ river didn't help Flutur and around half of hist stack was sent over to Varnaev.
