Gutierrez Gets Lucky
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Endrit Geci opened the action with a raise to 4,000 in the cutoff. Elias Gutierrez sat in the small blind and thought for a minute or so before committing his stack of 15,500.
Geci snap-called and the cards were tabled.
Elias Gutierrez: Q♦J♣ 
Endrit Geci: Q♠Q♥
Gutierrez was in bad shape but flopped some hope on 5♣K♦9♦. The 5♠ turn changed nothing, but Gutierrez's straight came in on the 10♦ river to double him up to slightly more than a starting stack.
Geci, meanwhile, was left with just 10,000, which he would lose not long after the completion of the hand.
