Papazois Smacks River to Stay Alive

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Marios Papazois
Marios Papazois

Marios Papazois opened to 600,000 from early position, and found himself facing a three-bet to 1,800,000 from Oliver Gayko in the cutoff. When the action folded back to Papazois, he four-bet shoved for roughly 3,000,000. Gayko wasted no time and made the call.

Marios Papazois: AQ All in
Oliver Gayko: KK

The flop brought more ways to win for Papazois, coming down 86J.

That wasn't his only route to survival, though, as the Q turn and Q river improved him to trips, seeing the pot pushed in his direction.
