Kristoff Sends Burlacu Home

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alexander Kristoff opened to 8,000 from early position and Robert Burlacu three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Kristoff who shoved all in, and Burlacu called off his last few thousand chips.

Robert Burlacu: A?9? All in
Alexander Kristoff: K?K?

Burlacu's situation went from bad to worse on the 5?K?4? flop as Kristoff improved to top set. It was running straight or flush cards that Burlacu needed but instead he got running nines as the 9? turn and 9? river improved him to trips, but gave Kristoff a full house.
