Big Slick Helps Farcasanu Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alexandru Farcasanu raised to 200,000 from the small blind and Rene Majed three-bet jammed out of the big blind. The raise was for all of Farcasanu's stack, which amounted to roughly 925,000. Farcasanu made the call and the players went to a showdown.
Alexandru Farcasanu: A♠K♠ 
Rene Majed :A♥3♣
Farcasanu's big slick had Majed crushed, and he looked poised to score a huge double up.
Farcasanu stayed ahead through the A♣6♥9♥ flop and 2♣ turn, meaning only a trey on the river would bust him. A clean 10♥ completed the board, and Farcasanu doubled through Majed.
