Lopez Counterfeits Kent to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kevin Kent opened in the cutoff and called the jam of 36,000 from Carlos Lopez in the small blind.
Carlos Lopez: A♦2♦ 
Kevin Kent: 5♦5♠
Lopez only had one overcard to the pocket pair of Kent and the K♥K♣2♠ flop gave him a couple of extra outs. The 6♣ fell on the turn, and the 6♠ completed the board on the river for Lopez to remain seated with two pair, aces and sixes with an ace-kicker.
