River Saves Appleyard
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jack Sumner opened to 65,000 under-the-gun and Kevin Appleyard defended from the big blind.
The flop came out 
and Appleyard bet 55,000 and Sumner called to see the 
on the turn.
Appleyard then shoved all in for around 400,000 and Sumner snap-called to put him at risk of elimination.
Kevin Appleyard: 
Jack Sumner: 
Appleyard needed some help to catch up to Sumner's aces, and the river blessed him with the 
to give him a straight to win the pot.
Sumner shook his head in disgust as his chips were pushed to Appleyard for a double-up to 950,000 while he was left with 520,000.
