Reffstrup Chops to Stay Alive
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Redouane Abed opened the action from middle position by raising to 55,000. Soren Reffstrup only had 155,000 chips in total and decided to put that amount all in from the hijack. It folded back to Abed, who quickly called. It seemed like a classic flip:
Soren Reffstrup: 
Redouane Abed: 
Abed raced ahead on the 
flop, but the deck had other ideas and it came 
to put a flush in middle, resulting in each player taking half the pot. The relieved Reffstrup shared a fistbump with his opponent after escaping with his tournament live.
