Ferro Gets There to Stay Alive
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Jose Ferro moved all in and Rajaee Wazwaz made the call to put him at risk.
Jose Ferro: A♥Q♥10♣8♣
Rajaee Wazwaz: A♣K♣K♥5♥
Wazwaz was ahead going in with his pocket kings and better clubs, but Ferro still had a lot of live cards with his hearts and straight cards.
The flop of A♠K♠9♠ gave neither player a flush but it did give Wazwaz middle set of kings to further increase his lead. However, the runout of 3♠J♣ gave Ferro the gutshot straight on the river to win the pot for the double-up.
