Beliauskas Spikes Miracle River for Survival
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action on a turn of 8♥8♦A♦8♠, Paul Corrway checked out of the big blind to Vidmantas Beliauskas in early position. Beliauskas made a bet of 225,000, after which Corrway jammed all in.
Beliauskas quickly tossed in his stack of 725,000 chips to risk his tournament life.
Vidmantas Beliauskas: J♥J♦ 
Paul Corrway: A♣5♠
"If you have an ace, you win," Beliauskas claimed before the showdown. However, that turned out to be a lie as the J♣ river gave the Lithuanian a better full house.
He raked in a lucky double-up and thanked his lucky stars as he sat back down.
