Pateychuk Binks the River to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Andrey Pateychuk raised from the cutoff and Mantas Bagocius called in the small blind before Uri Reichenstein squeezed to 100,000 in the big blind. Pateychuk then shoved for around 220,000, Bagocius reshoved around 650,000, and Reichenstein folded.
Andrey Pateychuk: 10♥10♠ 
Mantas Bagocius: AxAx
Pateychuk was on the verge of being eliminated and didn't get much help on the J♦4♠6♥ flop, A K♣ on the turn left him with just one more chance at spiking one of his two out. The river did provide one of those two outs as the 10♣ improved Pateychuk to a set and kept him alive.
