Argote Smashes the River
Level 14
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to a player in the small blind who opened to 22,000. The big blind was Erick "Kraken" Argote who took his time but ultimately opted to go all in for 83,000. The small blind player went deep into the tank and thought it over for about three minutes before making the call. Argote was in bad shape going to a runout.
Erick Argote: A♦10♠
Small blind: A♥J♣
The 9♦8♣4♣ flop landed and Argote began to gather his things, expecting to be hitting the showers. The 2♦ turn hit and Argote was almost away from the table when the 10♥ hit the river like a bomb that blew Argote right back to his seat.
He survived and has a good stack heading into the next level of play.
