Reichenstein Rivers a Straight to Survive
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
After a cutoff raise to 10,000, Uri Reichenstein jammed his stack of 90,000 into the middle from the button. Safi Haidar moved all in over the top from the small blind, forcing the initial raiser to fold.
Uri Reichenstein: A♣J♥ 
Safi Haidar: K♣K♦
Reichenstein was in a lot of trouble with ace-jack against the kings of Haidar. However, a fortunate runout of Q♣2♥9♦10♦K♥ improved Reichenstein to the nut straight, and he doubled through Haidar.
