Burlacu Puts Hallaert to the Test
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Robert Burlacu raised to 12,000 in early position and Kenny Hallaert three-bet to 33,000 in the hijack. The action was back on Burlacu who just called to see a flop of A♠4♠2♥. Burlacu checked to Hallaert who continued with a bet of 15,000. Burlacu then raised to 40,000 and Hallaert called.
The turn was the K♦ and Burlacu counted out a bet of 41,000. Hallaert still called and the 3♠ completed the board. Burlacu dropped in a bet of 100,000, more than enough to cover the remaining 44,000 in front of Hallaert. After using a time bank, Hallaert reluctantly mucked his cards.
"There's a bluff going around Bucharest," Shannon Shorr chimed in.
"I don't live there anymore!" Burlacu responded.
