Tommy G Gets There on the River
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Uri Reichenstein made it 400,000 from the hijack, and Tommy G three-bet to 2,300,000 from the big blind with 900,000 behind. Reichenstein jammed with a few big blinds more than Tommy G, and after seeing nobody at the other table was all-in, Tommy G called.
Tommy G: A♣K♣ 
Uri Reichenstein: 8♦8♠
The flip was pivotal for both players' future in the event. The 6♥4♥7♣ flop didn't help Tommy G, and neither did the 3♦ turn. But the K♥ river gave him top pair, and kept him in the tournament.
After the stacks were counted, Reichenstein was left with just 600,000.
