Rivered Two Outer Saves Vinaya
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Stephen Kehoe raised to 8,000 in the cutoff, and David Vinaya called in the big blind.
On a 9♦7♠2♠ flop, Vinaya worked his remaining 55,000 into the middle, and Kehoe had him at risk of elimination on the bubble.
David Vinaya: 10♠10♣
Stephen Kehoe: Q♠Q♥
The situation was bleak for Vinaya, as the bubble loomed large. The 9♠ turn offered no relief, but the 10♦ river arrived just in time to save the day, allowing Vinaya to survive with a double-up.
