Baltateanu Catches Lucky Jack To Stay Alive
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with close to 60,000 in the middle on a flop showing Q?8?6?, Christopher Puetz moved all in from the small blind, covering the 45,500 remaining for Silviu Baltateanu in the big blind, who snap-called for his tournament life.
Silviu Baltateanu: J?J?
Christopher Puetz: A?Q?
Baltateanu saw the bad news and aggressively threw his cards face down towards the dealer. The hand was retrieved and fortunately for him, the turn came the J? to turn the tables on the hand. The inconsequential 7? completed the board and Baltateanu scored the full double up off Puetz.
While Baltateanu was collecting the pot, he was issued a warning from the tournament staff that if he tossed his cards face down again his hand would be dead.
