Guillen Thankful to Survive with Chop

[user67765]

Angel Guillen

Angel Guillen is thankful to still have his Main Event campaign in tact after his opponent was freerolling to eliminate him from the tournament.

On a flop of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

Guillen fired out 2,500 before the button raised to 7,500. The player in the big blind folded as Guillen made the call.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and Guillen checked and then called for the remainder of his chips.

Guillen tabled {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

for two pair but his opponent flipped {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

for the same hand plus the flush draw!

A heart would spell the end for his tournament, but Guillen was saved by the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

river. Never has he been so happy to chop up a pot!
