Ace on the River Spares Grantham
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Christopher Grantham shoved for his last 36,000 from the hijack and it was folded to Jaehyung Park, who quickly placed calling chips into the middle from the big blind to put Grantham at risk.
Christopher Grantham: A♦K♦
Jaehyung Park: 7♣7♦
The 3♠10♠8♥ flop and 9♥ turn left Grantham one card away from elimination, but the A♥ river mercifully paired Grantham's ace on the river to award him the double up in dramatic fashion.
