Dumitru Finds Aces at the Right Time
Level 8
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Thaller raised to 6,000 from the hijack before Cristinel Dumitru jammed for 22,000 from the cutoff. When the action got back to him, Thaller reluctantly called.
Cristinel Dumitru: A♣A♦
Daniel Thaller: Q♣10♦
Dumitru was in great shape with pocket aces, and Thaller needed plenty of help to score the knockout.
However, the 2♥3♠4♦8♥10♣ runout offered him none, leaving Thaller drawing dead on the turn as Dumitru doubled to over half the starting stack.
