Guillen Thankful to Survive with Chop

Angel Guillen
Angel Guillen
Angel Guillen is thankful to still have his Main Event campaign in tact after his opponent was freerolling to eliminate him from the tournament.

On a flop of {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} Guillen fired out 2,500 before the button raised to 7,500. The player in the big blind folded as Guillen made the call.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Guillen checked and then called for the remainder of his chips.

Guillen tabled {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair but his opponent flipped {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for the same hand plus the flush draw!

A heart would spell the end for his tournament, but Guillen was saved by the {8-Spades} river. Never has he been so happy to chop up a pot!
