Butuc Busts

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a pot of around 170,000, Daniele Grasso checked from the big blind on a board of J?8?4?6?. Gheorghe Butuc then put in 55,000 from middle position before Grasso put his opponent all-in for 200,000.

Butuc spent some time in the tank but eventually came out with a call for his tournament life.

Gheorghe Butuc: Q?Q? All in
Daniele Grasso: 10?7?

Butuc needed to hit a spade to best Grasso's flush, but the 9? river did not improve his overpair, resulting in his elimination

Also spotted at this table was Amiel Gamliel, who played a monstrous stack of 140 big blinds.
