Back-and-Forth for Bar
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There was a preflop all-in at Table 6 with Gal Bar's tournament life on the line.
Gal Bar: A♣K♣
Dan Borlan: A♠Q♣
With 20 minutes until the dinner break, Bar was in great shape to secure a double-up, but the 10♦Q♦3♦ flop turned the hand in Borlan's favor. The turn brought the 3♣, leaving Bar needing a king or a jack on the river to survive.
"Not like this," Bar muttered but the dealer revealed the J♣ on the river, giving him a crucial double-up. Bar shouted with excitement and he pulled in the pot.
