Dan Murariu is truly the comeback king! Finding :::As :::Ac versus Tobias Peters’ :::Kh :::Ks and holding on the :::2s :::Ts :::Qs :::Tc :::8s board, he managed to bust the latter and boost his stack up to over 450,000.
But that wasn’t the end of Murariu’s roller coaster run.
A few minutes later it looked as though Murariu was back on a downturn. He’d found pocket aces a second time and was dominating the all-in Flavien Guenan’s pocket nines – until a nine on the turn of the K-5-Q-9-8 board gave Guenan the best hand, doubling him up to 460,000. Murariu dropped back down to 250,000.
But the very next hand, Murariu and Guenan got the lot in again. Murariu was dominating again, this time with A-K against Guenan’s A-Q, and this time he held. The board ran out 6-A-T-2-7 and Murariu doubled back through Guenan, up to around half a million in chips while Guenan was left with 200,000.
There’s almost no point watching the other tables – there’s no way there can be anything as exciting as that going on there…
