Qi Survives On the River
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised the hijack to 45,000 and Xuming Qi shoved 183,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Lonis, he called.
Xuming Qi: A♣K♦ 
Jesse Lonis: J♠10♠
Qi was in the lead, but not for long as the 10♣4♠7♥ flop paired Lonis. A Q♠ on the turn also gave Lonis a flush draw, reducing the number of outs that Qi had.
However, luck was on Qi's side as he found the K♣ on the river, which gave him top pair and the double-up.
