Graells Rivers Straight to Save Tournament Life
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ricardo Graells shoved from under the gun for 58,000. His only caller was Roei Siman Tov in the small blind.
Ricardo Graells: Q?J?
Roei Siman Tov: A?8?
The flop came 4?10?K? giving Graells an open-ended straight draw but still leaving him behind.
A 4? on the turn did nothing to change the situation.
The 9? river was far more consequential, giving Graells a straight and keeping him in the tournament.
