Held Survives a Flip

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Xiang Lian raised to 30,000 in the cutoff before Justus Held three-bet to 150,000 in the small blind. Lian then moved all in and Held snap-called for 610,000.

Justus Held: AK
Xiang Lian: 88

"Coin flip," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova said as the flop came KJ5, putting Held in the lead with a pair of kings. The board ran out 39 and Held doubled up.

Volodymyr Drokin was eliminated at the same time on another table as the field moved within five spots of the money.
