Ephremsen Drills the River to Survive
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Charles Chattha raised to 50,000 in early position, then called when big blind Paul Ephremsen shoved for 270,000.
Paul Ephremsen: 9♥9♣
Charles Chattha: J♦J♣
Chattha was ahead with his jacks heading to the K♠10♥4♠ flop. The K♣ turn left Ephremsen two outs to avoid elimination, and he found one on the 9♠ river as he raised his fist in the air and stopped to snap a photo of the board before collecting his double up.
