D'ursel Survives A Sweaty All In
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to Igor D'ursel in the small blind who made sure that Maria Ho in the big blind had put in her blind and ante before he peeled his cards. Once Ho obliged, he peeked at his cards and immediately went all in for his last 102,000.
Ho snapped him off having woken up with a monster and the two were headed to a runout.
Igor D'ursel: 10♦7♦
Maria Ho: A♠A♥
The 10♥8♦A♦ provided a massive sweat for D'ursel and his friend from another table. The 6♥ turn card was even sweatier as now D'ursel added straight out to his flush outs.
When the river fell the 9♠ completing the runner-runner straight for D'ursel, he and his friend celebrated as Ho pushed forward the chips to be added to D'ursel's stack after securing the double.
