Sailboats Keep Joshi Afloat
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Sachin Joshi made it 330,000 and left himself just 5,000 behind. The action folded to Aliaksandr Hirs in the big blind, who called and almost turned his cards over thinking Joshi was all-in. However, the dealer pointed out that Joshi still had chips behind.
On the 6♦2♣Q♠ flop, Hirs bet 5,000, and Joshi called.
Sachin Joshi: 4♠4♥ 
Aliaksandr Hirs: A♥7♥
Joshi had survived the flop with his pocket pair and managed to double up as the 8♠5♥ runout kept his Sailboats afloat.
