The Turn Digs It In
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Michael Kurek got his short stack all in preflop and found himself up against the chip leader, Ryan Rivers, albeit it in great shape.
Kurek: 
Rivers: 
Rivers has been running hot, but it didn't look like he would in this hand as the 
flop delivered Kurek a set. However, Rivers then caught the 
on the turn, which meant he could find the improbable victory with the case five on the river.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. Rivers missed, and all a happy Kurek could say was, "The turn just to dig it in a little I guess."
