Mitjavila's Aces Need Miracle River
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
After clashing in an earlier hand just before the last break, Daniel Herrera and Alexandre Mitjavila squared off again with the latter at risk.
Alexandre Mitjavila: A♣A♥
Daniel Herrera: Q♥9♦
The K♦A♦10♦ flop brought something for both players, as Mitjavila spiked a set but was in danger against Herrera's flush and straight draws. The 6♦ turn left Herrera in front after completing his flush.
On the verge of seeing his aces cracked, Mitjavila caught the K♥ river to make a full house, winning the second round against Herrera to stay alive.
