Sclavos Saved By The River

A collective gasp just went over the tournament floor as the short stack, Eric Sclavos doubled up with a dramatic river card that ensured that hand-for-hand play would continue.

Action folded to Jason Brown in the small blind who raised enough to put Sclavos all in, and he made the call for his last 27,500.

Brown: {3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Sclavos: {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Nothing changed on the {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop but it was the {9-Spades} on the turn which left Sclavos with three outs to survive.

The gasp came when the {K-Hearts} landed on the river to give Sclavos the double up! The bubble continues!
