Spataru Cracks Two Pairs of Queens to Triple Up
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Andrei Spataru, who was under the gun, and Miguel Lorenzo, in the small blind, found themselves all in and at risk for their effective stacks of 4,900 and 17,300, respectively, against Alessio Isaia, in the big blind.
Andrei Spataru: K?5? 
Miguel Lorenzo: Q?Q?
Alessio Isaia: Q?Q?
Spataru managed to run into two premium hands and was getting ready to exit on the 2?8?8?A? runout. However, the K? river came to the rescue, securing him the triple up.
