Roman Smacks the Turn to Bust Valtatzis
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nikolaos Valtatzis raised to 360,000 in middle position and Bogdan Roman called in the big blind. Roman went to turn over his cards before the dealer alerted him that Valtatzis still had 10,000 behind.
The flop came K♥3♥10♣ and Roman flicked in the chips to put Valtatzis all in. Valtatzis took a peek at the tournament clock, then called off his last chips.
Nikolaos Valtatzis: A♥K♦
Bogdan Roman: 4♦4♥
Valtatzis had flopped top pair to take the lead, but the 4♠ fell on the turn to give Roman a set. The river was the 5♥ and Valtatzis was sent to the rail.
