Saich Goes Runner-Runner
Level 27
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Albert Croteau raised to 225,000 on the button, and Charles Gudaitis came along in the small blind. Anton Saich then moved all in for 1,825,00 in the big blind.
Croteau took a lot of time before announcing the call, and Gudaitis shook his head before letting his hand go.
Anton Saich: A♠9♦ 
Albert Croteau: J♠J♦
Croteau's jacks stayed in front through the 8♣6♥3♥ flop, but Saich found a flush draw on the 2♥ turn. The dealer then delivered the 9♥ river, completing Saich's hearts to keep him alive.
