Maugini Rivers a Miracle to Survive
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
The action was picked up on a flop of 3♦K♣4♥. Pierre Bertrand bet from the small blind and Vittorio Maugini shoved for roughly 8,000 out of the big blind. Martin Lohmann moved all in over the top from the cutoff with the covering stack and Bertrand folded.
Vittorio Maugini: K♥9♠ 
Martin Lohmann: A♠K♠
Both players had top pair but it was Lohmann's kicker that had him out in front. The 10♠ came on the turn and meant only a river nine would keep Maugini alive. The river came the 9♦ to give Maugini the winner with two pair, and he doubled up through Lohmann.
