McGinn knocks out Muresan

Grant McGinn raised to 800 under the gun and was called by I.Gentles two to his left. Charles Efstathiou re-raised to 4000 in middle position and it was folded to Radu Muresan in the big blind. He saw the opportunity to multiply his short stack and moved all-in for 1500. McGinn followed suit for 3400 and Gentles decided there was too much in the middle not to see a flop, so he called. The flop was J J 9. Gentles checked and Efstathiou quickly moved all-in. Gentles folded and the cards were on their backs: 4 4 for Efstathiou, A K for Muresan and, amazingly in the lead, 5 5 for McGinn. Turn and river were 9 3 sending Muresan to the rail but keeping McGinn alive and now with a healthy stack.
