Perez Saved by the Ace
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 20,000 ante
"All in," announced Juan Perez in the hijack as he slid out a stack upon action folding to him.
"Oh my god," said Alex Kotliarsky on the button, looking up and away from the table. "I call," he added after a few more seconds, dropping a stack of chips onto the felt.
Juan Perez: 
Alex Kotliarsky: 
"In the window," Kotliarsky said after seeing the flop 
. The turn 
traded his two set outs for three gutshot straight outs, but it all proved to be for naught as the river 
completed the runout to score Perez the double.
Kotliarsky was then left with under one big blind, but doubled on the following hand to get back to above 350,000.
