Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Diego Montone was all-in for around 55,000 and at risk having been called by Sergey Lebedev.
Diego Montone: 9♦10♦
Sergey Lebedev: 7♠7♥
Lebedev was ahead in a race and Montone remarked "I was expecting worse", but the 2♠3♥K♦ flop provided him with no help.
The turn was the A♥ and Montone looked set to be departing but the river rolled off the 9♠ to hand him a double-up and keep Montone in it.
