Niyatim Finds a Deuce to Stay Alive
Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Pejman Niyati, who had slid quite a bit from his high point, raised to 3,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Kevin McColgan, who opted for a three-bet to 7,500 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, Niyati moved all in for 23,500 and McColgan snap-called.
McColgan: 
Niyatim: 
Niyatim had picked a bad spot and was in need of some help, which he actually got on the 
flop. The 
turn missed McColgan, as did the 
river, and Niyatim's pair of deuces earned him a double.
