A Deuce on the River Never Helped Anyone, Huh?
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
After Stefan Leenen opened the action with a raise on the button to 35,000, Anton Markov moved all-in from the small blind for approximately 200,000. Dawid Kuliberda called in the big blind, and Leenen folded.
Anton Markov: 
Dawid Kuliberda: 
Kuliberda was well ahead with his superior pair, and stayed that way as the dealer spread 
on the flop, and the 
on the turn, but the 
on the river saved Markov's tournament life and put Kuliberda on a short stack.
