Sydenstricker, Rahal Survive Big Flips Near the Bubble

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Joao Sydenstricker
Joao Sydenstricker

Elias Gutierrez raised to 8,000 in early position before Joao Sydenstricker moved all in for 66,000 on the button. Action folded back to Gutierrez who called.

Joao Sydenstricker: 88 All in
Elias Gutierrez: AK

Sydenstricker leaned over the table filming the action as the board ran out Q6QJ9, earning last year's EPT Barcelona runner-up a double up.

At another table, Victorio Piturca raised to 9,000 in the cutoff and Ihar Soika called in the small blind. Samir Rahal then moved all in for 119,000 in the big blind, Piturca called, and Soika got out of the way.

Samir Rahal: AK All in
Victorio Piturca: QQ

Piturca remained ahead on the 232 flop, but Rahal hit the A on the turn to make two pair. The river was the 9 and Rahal also survived.
