Vicente Hits a Miracle to Survive
Level 11
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
A player in middle position raised to 3,500 and Antonio Vicente called in the hijack, as did the button. The small blind then three-bet to 14,000, and only Vicente and the button called.
The small blind bet 15,000 on the K♦2♥5♠ flop, and only Vicente called. The turn was the Q♣ and the small blind moved all in. Vicente quickly splashed in his last 30,000 and turned over J♣J♠, but his opponent had K♠Q♠ for top two pair.
Vicente was drawing to only two outs to stay alive, and he hit one on the J♦ river to double up. He was still shaking his head in disbelief as the pot was pushed to him.
