Croitoru Doubles Through Azulay

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With already around 9,000 in the middle and the flop reading {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}, Avraham Azulay checked in the hijack and Andrei Butko bet 5,000 in the cutoff. Mihaita Croitoru moved all in from the button and Azulay took just brief consideration before moving all in over the top for 34,000.

Butko had another 12,000 behind and was sent into the think tank. Eventually the clock was called while all other players were about to head into the first break, and Butko folded.

Mihaita Croitoru: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}
Avraham Azulay: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The {9-Spades} turn immediately improved Croitoru but he now needed to dodge another nine or seven. The {Q-Hearts} on the river did just that and Azulay sighed. "I knew you had a flush draw, such a good call," he added and dropped below the starting stack.
