Ace From Space Keeps Torres Alive
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jason James had won the previous two pots with all-in shoves before he moved all in again from the cutoff. Louie Torres snap-called for 1,500,000 on the button and the blinds both got out of the way.
Louie Torres: A♠K♦
Jason James: 2♥2♣
James remained in front as the board came 4♦5♦Q♥6♦ as Torres was already standing up from his seat preparing to make his exit. The river, though, brought the A♣ to keep him alive in the tournament.
"Push or fold. The strategy hasn't failed yet. Hopefully, everybody gets knocked out before me," Torres said as he sat back down.
