King on the River Keeps Pearson Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Travis Pearson was at risk for 86,000 against Klemens Roiter.
Travis Pearson: K♥K♣Q♦5♣
Klemens Roiter: A♥A♣10♣2♦
Pearson had run into the aces of Roiter and the J♣8♥4♣ flop wasn't looking promising. The 9♦ turn gave him a gutshot to go along with his kings and the K♦ landed on the river for him to remain sitting as he dragged the pot.
