Burlacu Finds an Ace to Double
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Robert Burlacu moved all in for 840,000 on the button and Nicolo Bartolone called under the gun.
Robert Burlacu: A?10? 
Nicolo Bartolone: Q?Q?
Burlacu had run into Bartolone's queens and was at risk of elimination until the flop brought A?J?5?, giving him top pair. The rest of the board came 8?2? and Burlacu doubled up.
Burlacu's countryman Andrei Spataru had no such luck, however, as he was recently eliminated.
