Ikeda Drills the River For a Miracle Double
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Satoshi Ikeda and the big blind had built up a pot of around 35,000 heading to the turn on a board of 9?6?6?8? when Ikeda, under the gun, got his last 37,000 in the middle.
His opponent called from the big blind and showed A?6? for trip sixes. Ikeda turned over 8?7? and needed to improve on the river to stay alive in what had become a massive pot.
The dealer turned over the 8? and a collective gasp arose from the table as Ikeda made a full house. He leaned back in his chair and let out a deep breath as he stayed alive thanks to that miracle river.
