Alejandro Sicuro Hits the 'Ace From Space'

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Richard Dubini raised to 13,000 from the cutoff and Hernan Panulti called on the button. Alejandro Sicuro was in the small blind and moved all in for 66,000. Hector Valenzuela looked down at his cards in the big blind and announced, "call". Dubini and Panulti folded.

Sicuro showed {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Valenzuela tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The flop was {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, keeping Valenzuela in the lead with two pair, kings and nines. The turn was the {7-Hearts}, leaving Sicuro drawing thin. The river was the {a-Diamonds}, and Sicuro caught the card he needed to stay alive.
