Hunt Catches a Miracle to Survive
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Willard Hunt raised to 400,000 in middle position before Elguja Gigauri moved all in from the cutoff. "Alright, I call," Hunt said with a sigh.
"Do you have aces?" Gigauri asked him.
"Did that sound like aces," tablemate Spyros Malkotsis added.
Willard Hunt: A♠K♣
Elguja Gigauri: K♦K♠
Hunt had run into Gigauri's kings as the flop came Q♠5♠9♠. The 10♥ fell on the turn, while the J♥ river gave Hunt a straight and the fortunate double up.
