"River's Fine" For Lane
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
The PokerNews team caught the tail end of a hand between a player in the big blind and Michael Lane in the cutoff, who was all in preflop for just over 1,100,000.
Michael Lane: K♣J♦
Big Blind: 6♥6♣
When the board ran out A♠5♥5♠2♣, the end looked near for Lane who needed a king or jack to stay alive.
"The river's fine," announced Lane just before the dealer peeled off the K♥ river to give Lane the pair he needed.
"Bam!" said Lane as he stood up and clapped his hands in excitement for scoring a full double up.
