Putinas Wins Big Flip to Stay Alive
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up with Gintautas Putinas all in for 55,500, with Parker Talbot calling to put him at risk.
Gintautas Putinas: A♠K♣ 
Parker Talbot: 10♠10♥
Talbot was ahead but would have to win the flip against the two over cards to eliminate Putinas. The flop came J♠Q♥9♣ to give Putinas more outs in the form of a ten to make a straight. Putinas didn't have to wait long as the 10♣ came right in on the river to give Putinas a Broadway straight. Talbot would need the board to pair after turning a set, but the river was the K♠ which confirmed the double up for Putinas.
