King Five to Survive, Lav Gets the Double
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kimlong Lav moved his last 54,000 in the middle from early position and was called by a player in middle position.
The two would go heads-up, with Lav the player at risk.
Kimlong Lav: K♣5♠
Middle Position Player: A♠10♦
Lav would need to catch up to the ace-high of his opponent, and the 10♠8♥K♦ flop would do just that, propelling Lav into the lead.
However, he was still not out of the woods, as his opponent flopped a pair as well, and could still catch an ace or running straight cards for the win.
But he 7♥ turn and J♥ river would give Lav the double and save him from elimination.
