Ace on the River Saves Duta
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Over at the secondary feature table, a big pot was created after Clement Thumy got his stack of 289,000 all in preflop and was up against Florian-Dimitrie Duta.
Duta held the 
and was in dire straits against the 
of Thumy. The 
flop was dry for Duta, though the 
river gave him a wheel draw. Duta needed either an ace or deuce on the river to stay alive, and he found one when the 
spiked.
Duta doubles to over 50 big blinds while Thumy was knocked down to just 17,000.
