River Card Saves Patel
Through the first handful of hands at the final table of Event #22, there was barely any action. Three walks occurred and other than that, a simple preflop raise from one of the players took down the blinds. That all changed soon enough though.
Emil Patel raised from middle position to 24,000. Action folded to Stephen Wolfe on the button and he made the call. Cody Munger also called from the small blind and then Jeff Sarwer folded out of the big blind, leaving three players in to see the flop.
The flop came down paired and with a few draws present with the 
. Munger was first to act and he checked to Patel, the preflop raiser. Patel bet 84,000. Wolfe raised to 240,000 and Munger folded. Patel called and was all in for 117,000 total. Hands please.
