Korene Wins the Flip to Double Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action folded to Sohale Khalili on the button, who raised to 5,500. Then the small blind Ronald Miller three-bet all in for 70,000, before the big blind Orest Korene also went all in for his last 58,500. Khalili quickly folded, leaving the two players heads up, with Korene at risk.
Orest Korene: A♠K♥ 
Ronald Miller: J♠J♥
Korene would need to improve to stay in the tournament, and the 6♦6♠4♣ flop brought no helo for him. But after the K♦ on the turn and A♥ on the river, Korene improved to two pair, aces and kings to double up and leave Miller short.
