Wade Spikes Three-Outer on River to Survive
Action folded to Ben Tollerene on the button and he opted to limp, which Joe Ebanks did in the small blind. Tristan Wade was in the big blind and decided to exercise his option by making it 124,000 to go. Tollerene got out of the way while Ebanks made the call.
When the flop fell 
, Ebanks checked, Wade fired out 137,000, and Ebanks check-raised to 280,000. Wade's next play was moving all in for 591,000 more and Ebanks called immediately.
Wade: 
Ebanks: 
While Wade held the superior hand preflop, Ebanks managed to flop top pair and leave Wade drawing to a king. The 
turn changed nothing, and Wade was down to three outs. Wouldn't you know it, the 
spiked on the river to give Wade the double, much to Ebanks' dissatisfaction.
