Neves Hits the River to Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rui Neves opened to 125,000 from the cutoff, then Eshaan Bhalla on the button three-bet to 400,000. The blinds folded, and Neves took as much time as he could to make a decision. The clock was called and he eventually called with his last 30,000.
Rui Neves:?A?J? 
Eshaan Bhalla:?A?Q?
Neves was on the edge of elimination after the dealer fanned a board of A?7?6?10?. But he was lucky enough to hit the J? river to double up.
"Sorry guys," immediately apologized Neves.
"It's ok, there is a big pay jump," Shaun Deeb answered.
