Huge River Saves Daterao
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
From under the gun, Jugal Daterao had opened the action, and Yosuke Miki defended the big blind. Picking up action on the turn, the board read Q♦8♥3♥K♣, and all the chips flew in the middle to create a pot of nearly a million in chips.
Jugal Daterao: A♠A♣
Yosuke Miki: K♥8♦
Miki had turned two pair and found himself in a fantastic spot to get himself up over a million. The river, however, brought the 3♦, counterfeiting his two pair and handing the winner to Daterao.
