Lehut Hits the Turn, Tammel Spikes the River to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tarmo Tammel moved all in for 175,000 under the gun, Jean-Vincent Lehut reshoved in the hijack, and the rest of the table folded.
Tarmo Tammel: A?K?
Jean-Vincent Lehut: A?J?
The 5?3?3? flop was safe for Tammel, but Lehut caught the J? on the turn to make two pair as Tammel prepared to make his exit. The river, though, was the K? and Tammel turned away in disbelief as he spiked a higher two pair to double up, leaving Lehut with just 5,000.
"Always a sweat," tablemate Kubanychbek Abakirov said.
"It wasn't a sweat. I thought I was out," Tammel replied.
