Yarchever Stays Alive
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded to Chris Johnston who raised to 19,000 from the cutoff. It then folded to the big blind Jeffrey Yarchever who called for his stack of 18,000 to put himself at risk.
Jeffrey Yarchever: A♠8♠ 
Chris Johnston: A♣7♥
Yarchever had Johnston dominated, and once the board ran out 5♣K♣3♥2♦K♥ the ace-eight of Yarchever remained best to give him the double up.
