Baqal Spikes the River
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
Yassine Baqal shoved in the small blind for his last 7,000,000 and Blaz Zerjav immediately called in the big blind.
Yassine Baqal: J♣7♣
Blaz Zerjav: 8♣8♥
Baqal was looking for another double but could not connect on the 2♦K♠3♦ flop or A♦ turn. His rail erupted when the dealer turned over the J♠ river, staying alive once again, pairing his jack with a three-outer.
