Pihela Jr Spikes a King to Stay Alive
Niveau 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Andrej Tekel opened 200,000 on the button, and Igor Pihela Jr jammed in the big blind. Tekel asked for a count, and once the dealer told him it was 855,000 he made the call and both hands were tabled.
Igor Pihela Jr: K♥9♦
Andrej Tekel: A♥10♥
Pihela Jr was behind and the 10♣6♦4♥ flop wasn't favorable, but the K♠ turn gave him a pair of kings to take the lead, and the 5♥ landed on the river, sending the double to Pihela Jr.
