Wakeman Drills the River to Avoid Bubbling
Level 16
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Egan opened from the cutoff and Matthew Wakeman shoved for his last 845,000 from the small blind. Egan called to put him at risk and a showdown was held.
Matthew Wakeman: K♣Q♦
Michael Egan: 9♥9♦
It was a race for Wakeman's tournament life, which looked bleak for him after the A♣4♥J♠ flop and 4♦ turn left him one card from elimination.
The K♠ appeared on the river, however — improving Wakeman to a winning pair of kings on the end for the double up.
