Knuth Coolers Virlanuta Out
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Marian Virlanuta opened from under the gun and then ended up getting his stack in against Daniel Knuth, who was in the hijack with 480,000. Virlanuta had 475,000, which meant the loser of the hand would either be eliminated or on life support.
Marian Virlanuta: A♠K♠ 
Daniel Knuth: K♥K♣
It was a clash of premiums as big slick was up against the cowboys. Both improved on the A♦J♦K♦ flop as Virlanuta made two pair, but was behind to the set of Knuth. A Q♠ on the turn meant a ten on the river would put Broadway on board, but that never happened as the 6♠ meant Virlanuta hit the rail.
