Munteanu Spikes a Queen to Double Through Tuliupa
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Ning Dong opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,400,000, leaving himself just 1,600,000 behind. Artem Tuliupa moved all in from the button for 10,250,000, and Bogdan Munteanu in the small blind took a moment before shoving as well for 6,475,000, putting himself at risk. Dong got out of the way, and the cards were tabled.
Bogdan Munteanu: A♣Q♥
Artem Tuliupa: 9♠9♣
Tuliupa held the lead with pocket nines, and the 2♥3♠K♣ flop kept him ahead. The 10♥ turn gave Munteanu a few extra outs with a Broadway draw, and sure enough, the Q♣ landed on the river to pair his queen and snatch the pot.
Munteanu secured a crucial double-up, while both Tuliupa and Dong were left short-stacked.
