Burlacu Ousted By Nasty River
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Sam Johnson, Robert Burlacu, and Todd Phillips were three-ways to a turn of 6?5?6?7?. Johnson and Phillips had checked from the small blind and early position respectively before Burlacu made a bet of 13,500 into the pot of 23,000.
Johnson then jammed all in, covering the other two players. Phillips quickly folded but Burlacu tanked for 30 seconds or so before committing his stack.
Robert Burlacu: K?K? 
Sam Johnson: 7?5?
Burlacu had the higher two pair with his kings and sixes, but the 5? river gave Johnson a full house to eliminate his opponent.
