Pihela Jr Spikes a King to Stay Alive
Level 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.
