Vieira Calls it with Ace-High
Level 19
: 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Joao Vieira raised the cutoff to 24,000 and Victor "Arepo" Krivoshein called. The flop came 
and Krivoshein check-raised from 12,000 to 24,000. Vieira called to the 
and called the bet of 24,000 there. Krivoshein bet 24,000 again on the 
river and Vieira called.
Victor "Arepo" Krivoshein: 
Joao Vieira: 
Board:
Vieira only had an ace kicked on the pair of eights on the board, but called it down and had the best on the river for a big chip up. Krivoshein was left short, but doubled the next hand and is still alive. Anatoly Filatov wasn't so lucky as he busted elsewhere around the same time.
