Soares Hits the River to Survive
Level 26
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Gregory Fabião kicked the action off with a raise to 425,000 from the cutoff holding A♣8♥. Bernardo Soares responded with a three-bet shove from the button for 2,800,000. Pedro Padilha then also moved all in, putting his 7,900,000 stack to work.
The rest of the table folded, and the cards were flipped over.
Bernardo Soares: A♦Q♥ 
Pedro Padilha: K♥K♣
The J♥10♠6♣ flop offered Soares a couple of extra outs, but the 2♠ turn was not one of them.
With one ace already folded and two kings accounted for, Soares had just four outs to survive.
The dealer burned and turned the A♠ river, seeing Soares survive with a full double up.
