Munteanu Bubbles in Heart-Breaking Fashion
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Luke Porter opened from under the gun and was three-bet by Bogdan Munteanu in the hijack. Action folded back around to Porter, who four-bet to approximately 70,000. Munteanu responded with a shove for a 331,000 total and Porter called to put Munteanu at risk.
Bogdan Munteanu: K♠K♥
Luke Porter: A♦A♠
It was a brutal cooler for Munteanu, but the 6♥K♣10♦ flop vaulted him into the lead with a set of kings. However, in a cruel twist of fate, the A♥ was dealt on the turn, which got a collective gasp from onlookers as Porter retook the lead with a set of aces.
The J♣ river sealed Munteanu's fate and he was eliminated on the stone bubble.
