Counterfeit Saves Sandu

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Cristinel Sandu's short stack of 33,000 was at risk preflop.

Cristinel Sandu: J?10? All in
Arvydas Merfeldas: 3?3?

Sandu started to stand up to go as the board was quickly dealt 6x6x8x4x4x. He said "good game," and was about to leave before he was made aware that he actually doubled up with the jack kicker on the double-paired board, which counterfeited Merfeldas' treys.

He sat back down with his renewed stack.
