Runcan Wins Two More, Then Doubles Up Shabani
Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Paul Runcan, the chipleader of the table, jammed all in from under the gun, prompting the entire table to fold. On the next deal, Runcan got a walk in the big blind.
The next hand, it was folded to Runcan again, and he open-shoved his small blind. Genc Shabani spent several time bank extensions before putting in a call for his stack of 1,475,000.
Genc Shabani: K?Q?
Paul Runcan: 9?5?
Runcan flopped some extra outs on 8?8?6?, but the K? turn made Shabani top pair to take away Runcan's pair opportunites.
The table was audibly rooting for a seven on the river, but the A? came instead. Runcan missed his straight draw and Shabani doubled up to 15 big blinds.
