Tito Ortiz Spikes the River to Stay Alive

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Felipe Ramos and Tito Ortiz
Felipe Ramos and Tito Ortiz

With 3,000 in the pot and a flop of {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Jose Da Silva Paulo Demeyere checked from the big blind and UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz fired out 4,000 from the under-the-gun position. Martin Kus folded from early position and Demeyere woke up with a check-raise to 11,000.

Ortiz made the call, which left him just 7,550 behind. After the dealer burned and turned the {J-Diamonds}, Demeyere moved all in and Ortiz opted to call off.

Ortiz: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Demeyere: {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Demeyere was ahead with two pair, but you can guess what happened by the title of this post. The {J-Hearts} spiked on the river to give Ortiz a bigger two pair and new life! Demeyere was left with 8,500 after the hand.
