Pak Smashes the River
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Luke Martinelli opened under the gun to 400,000 before the action made it to Valeriy Pak in the small blind who moved all in. It was back on Martinelli who only took a moment before putting in the chips and they were off to a full board with Pak all in and at risk.
Valeriy Pak: A♠Q♣
Luke Martinelli: 9♦9♥
The K♥J♥5♠ flop missed Pak who would need some help. The 7♣ turn didn't change a thing but the 10♥ river gave Pak the nut straight.
Martinelli slid the chips to dealer who passed them to Pak as he gained new life late in the day.
