Angelo Spikes River to Stay Alive

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Nick Angelo
Nick Angelo

The cutoff player opened for 1,200 and the button player called. Action was on Nick Angelo who three-bet jammed from the small blind for 10,800. The cutoff player called for less and the button player came along holding more chips than both opponents.

Cutoff Player: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Button Player: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Nick Angelo: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Angelo held the best with a made hand of eights but the [9cqcqod] flop gave the button player staright outs.

The {a-Diamonds} fell on the turn to put Angelo way behind as he needed any eight or jack to stay alive.

Angelo indeed had his prayer answered as the river fell the {j-Clubs} to give him the staright to take down the pot.

Benjamin Lavallee opened for 800 from middle position and was called Travis Hartshorn from the hijack, along with Alvaro Morgado on the button.
