Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Bruce Vandervort
Bruce Vandervort

Zlatin Penev moved all in preflop from the cutoff and then Bruce Vandervort on the button shoved behind him for less. The other players quickly folded and the two flipped their cards over, with Vandervort at risk.

Bruce Vandervort: Q?Q?
Zaltin Penev: A?Q?

Vandervort was in a great position to double up here, but the runout of 10?5?7?J?K? was brutal as it gave Penev a Broadway straight on the river to eliminate him in 16th place.
