Peluso Finds the River to Survive
Level 6
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Walid Bou Habib and Fabio Peluso both had similar stacks of around 55,000 and got them into the middle preflop with the latter needing a lot of help.
Fabio Peluso: K♥J♥ 
Walid Bou Habib: Q♣Q♥
Habib was on track for a double-up and was still well in the lead after the 9♣3♥A♠ flop. A 10♦ on the turn did give Peluso some extra out as any queen would complete Broadway, however it was the K♠ river that earned him a double-up as he made a pair of kings, prompting Habib to launch his cards back to the dealer.
