Barshak's Set Keeps Him Alive
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Acton was picked up when Ivan Uzunov from the cutoff, called the all-in bet from Stanislav Barshak for 218,000 from the big blind.
Stanislav Barshak: 5?5? 
Ivan Uzunov: A?10?
It was a flip for Barshak's tournament life, but when the flop came 8?5?9? it left Uzunov needing running straight cards to beat the set of fives from Barshak. But the 3? on the turn left Uzunov drawing dead when the 7? hit the river, to give Barshak the double up.
