Burlacu Cracks Henriques' Kings For a Lucky Double
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Robert Burlacu moved all in for 250,000 in middle position and Daniel Henriques called under the gun.
Robert Burlacu: K?J? 
Daniel Henriques: K?K?
Burlacu had run right into Henriques' kings and was at risk of elimination until the flop brought J?J?6?, giving him trips. The board ran out 4?7? and Burlacu doubled up.
"Wow. What a lucky man. I knew he was going to win. I know him," tablemate Alain Hajj said.
"How do you jam before the flop with king-jack, 11, 12 big blinds?" Hajj added.
"Now my mother won't give me money to play anymore," Burlacu replied.
