Craib Stays Alive on the River
Level 26
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
We’ve been five-handed for a long time now, but the double ups continue with Fabian Craib getting in on the act against Michael Kanaan. It was a real sweat where he had to wait until the river before breathing a sigh of relief.
The hand started with Michael Kanaan opening to 200,000 from the button. Craib three-bet all in from the small blind for 1,625,000 and Kanaan made the call.
Craib: 
Kanaan: 
Craib was looking good until the 
flop paired up Kanaan’s eight to take the lead, but Craib did pick up a flush draw. The 
bricked the turn but the river was the 
to give Craib the winning pair to double up to 3.5 million. Kanaan slips to 4 million.
