Kliper Hits Three-Outer to Double
Level 15
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Cesar Veloso had opened to 5,500 in middle position when it folded to Arie Kliper in the small blind. Kliper jammed in his stack of 28,500, and Veloso called off after some thinking time.
Arie Kliper: A♠10♥ 
Cesar Veloso: A♥J♠
Kliper was fearing his elimination after the 5♦4♥9♦ flop, but the 10♣ turn saved him as he made a pair of tens. The 9♥ river changed nothing, doubling up Kliper to 25 big blinds.
