Jucys Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Aces

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Paulius Jucys
Paulius Jucys

Andress Merheb had a raise to 10,000 in front of him in the cutoff as action folded to Paulius Jucys in the big blind. He tanked for a moment before moving all in for 41,500, and Merheb snap-called.

Paulus Jucys: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Andress Merheb: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Jucys had run into the ultimate cooler and was at risk of elimination as the flop came {10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The {j-Clubs} turn gave him some hope with a straight draw, and the {9-Hearts} on the river improved him to a straight as he hit the miracle to stay alive.
