Rusu Runs Queens Into Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After Andre Filipe Moreira Marques opened for 10,000 from under the gun, Mirko Mirovic three-bet to 30,000 from early position. Catalin Rusu, in middle position, shoved for about 130,000. It folded around and, after Marques let his cards go, Mirovic snapped.
Mirko Mirovic: 
Catalin Rusu: 
Rusu was beside himself as he found himself way behind Mirovic's aces.
The board ran out 
and Mirovic earned himself a huge double up to nearly a quarter of a million chips.
The Romanian had gone to the last break with a whopping 224,000 and now finds himself with less than 20,000 chips 20 minutes later.
