Survival for Pidhrusnyi
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Vasyl Pidhrusnyi got almost all of his stack of 70,000 into the middle from the big blind, with Tamer Kamel trying to bust him from the small blind.
Kamel put Pidhrusnyi all in for his last 10,000 or so on the 9♠3♣9♥ flop, and after some tanking, Pidhrusnyi called.
Vasyl Pidhrusnyi: 10♥10♣
Tamer Kamel: A♥K♣
Pidhrusnyi's pair of tens was in the lead, and only a king or an ace would see him bust.
No help came for Kamel on the 7♦ turn or 4♣ river, and Pidhrusnyi earned the much-needed double-up.
