Trofim Nearly Doubles Through Virlanuta
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Marian Virlanuta opened to 100,000 from early position and was three-bet to 220,000 by Mihai Trofim from directly behind. Action folded back around to Virlanuta, who called.
Virlanuta check-called a 115,000 bet from Trofim on the 2?K?10? flop and then both players checked on the 10? turn.
The J? filled the river and Virlanuta checked once more, prompting Trofim to bet 755,000 — leaving himself just 5,000 behind.
Virlanuta quickly called and Trofim tabled A?Q? for Broadway. Virlanuta showed he held the 10? and mucked to award Trofim the near double up.
