Munteanu Defends the Big Blind
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
An opponent moved all in with 17,000 from the hijack and action folded around to Bogdan Munteanu who defended the big blind.
Hijack: A♦Q♦
Bogdan Munteanu: 10♦2♣
The hijack was looking strong but the J♠J♦10♠ flop swayed things in Munteanu's favor.
The 5♠ 8♠ runout kept Munteanu ahead with two pair, and the hijack was eliminated from the tournament with around 280 players remaining.
