Guenni Spikes a Jack to Keep His Run Alive
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Mikael Guenni shoved for his last 41,000 from the small blind and Nikita Kuznetcov called from the big blind to put Guenni at risk.
Mikael Guenni: K♥J♠
Nikita Kuznetcov: A♦Q♦
The 4♣7♥6♣ flop didn't look promising for Guenni, but the J♦ turn paired Guenni's jack to vault him into the lead.
The 8♠ river came safe for Guenni and he doubled up through Kuznetcov.
