Taysi Stays Alive
Level 39
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Muhtar Taysi had his stack of around 10,000,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Umberto Ruggeri.
Muhtar Taysi: J♦9♣ 
Umberto Ruggeri: A♦J♣
Ruggeri had a great chance to bring it down to heads up, but the board had other ideas as the J♠9♥Q♦ flop gave Taysi two pair. A 10♦ on the turn added some straight outs, but the 4♠ river was a brick.
