Sawitzki Staves Off Elimination

Pete Sawitzki was all in before the flop for 168,000, and he found action from Praz Bansi. Sawitzki tabled {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, racing for his tournament life against Bansi's {5-Hearts} {5-Spades}.

The flop was a pretty good miss for Sawitzki, coming {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} to give him a few outs to the gutshot straight to go with his overcards. The {5-Diamonds} that turned was no fun though, leaving Sawitzki drawing only to that straight. You can imagine the reaction from the table as the {10-Hearts} peeled off on the river, giving Sawitski that miracle come-from-behind straight to double up near 370,000.
