Munoz Finds Crucial Double Just in Time
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Kaufmann opened from under the gun, but Richard Green quickly ramped up the action with a raise to 100,000 from early position. Action folded around to Ramon Munoz in the big blind, who moved all in for his last 38,000. Kaufmann got out of the way, and the cards went on their backs.
Ramon Munoz: A♣K♥
Richard Green: A♥9♣
With the bubble looming, Munoz was at risk, but the K♠3♥K♣ flop brought immediate relief, giving him trips. The 2♣ turn and 10♥ river were clean, locking up a much-needed double-up at a critical point in the day.
