King Five to Survive, Lav Gets the Double
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kimlong Lav moved his last 54,000 in the middle from early position and was called by a player in middle position.
The two would go heads-up, with Lav the player at risk.
Kimlong Lav: K?5?
Middle Position Player: A?10?
Lav would need to catch up to the ace-high of his opponent, and the 10?8?K? flop would do just that, propelling Lav into the lead.
However, he was still not out of the woods, as his opponent flopped a pair as well, and could still catch an ace or running straight cards for the win.
But he 7? turn and J? river would give Lav the double and save him from elimination.
