Rezende Gets There to Survive

Stewart Morrison

Level 22 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Vinicius Rezende moved all in from the button for 1,100,000 and was called by Ivan Luca in the big blind.

Vinicius Rezende: A♠10♦ All in
Ivan Luca: A♥K♣

The flop saw both players improve to top pair, coming down 7♠A♣9♠ but crucially, Luca kept his lead.

The 8♦ turn gave Rezende hope, and the 6♠ river was exactly what he needed, seeing him hit a straight to survive.
