Maregedze Survives on the River
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ben Maregedze opened to 1,700 from under the gun and called when Craig Stevenson slid out a three-bet to 5,000 from middle position.
The dealer fanned out the 5♣4♥J♥ flop and Maregedze committed his remaining stack.
Ben Maregedze: 8♥8♦ 
Craig Stevenson: Q♠Q♣
Maregedze was trailing and found no help on the 10♥ turn. The dealer then flipped over the 8♣ river, giving Maregedze a set to crack queens and stay alive.
