Bonanata Rivers Set to Stay Afloat
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nozomu Shimizu shoved from the hijack and got a call from Marcelo Bonanata in the big blind, who was covered by the Japanese.
Marcelo Bonanata: 8♦8♥
Nozomu Shimizu: A♠K♦
The flop came Q♠6♥A♥, putting Shimizu firmly in front.
A 7♠ on the turn prompted Bonanata to stand from his chair, already resigned to his exit.
But an 8♠ on the river saved his tournament life and earned him a priceless double up. Shimizu was involved in a big pot next hand, where he got Masato Kashiwabara to fold his hand, which earned him back some of the chips he lost.
