Peters Doubles Through Lin

[user38449]

Mischa Peters has doubled through Celina Lin in dramatic fashion, spiking a two-outer on the river to stay alive in the tournament. Celina had opened the pot for 7,000 from the small blind and Peters moved all in over the top from the big, for a total of 22,600. Lin tanked for quite awhile before eventually making the call with {A-Clubs}

; Peters revealed pocket deuces.

The {A-Diamonds}

flop hit Lin hard, giving her trip aces and the turn brought an inconsequential {7-Spades}

. With two outs and one card to come, Peters had one foot out the door, but when the {2-Clubs}

fell on the river, he was granted new life.

Lin was left with approximately 50,000 in chips after the loss.
