Lechich Survives on River

Tino Lechich Stays Alive
Tino Lechich Stays Alive
Tino Lechich found the last of his chips in the middle holding {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} on a flop of {K-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, but trailed against the {K-Spades}{8-Spades} of Chris Lovelace who had flopped two pair.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} but a miraculous {7-Spades} on the river gave Lechich a much-needed double-up before the dinner break to jump to 27,150.
