Atehortua Wins a Flip
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Rahul Jaisingh raised to 2,700 from under the gun, and Phillip Phan made the call as next to act.
Nicholas Atehortua then moved his last 6,000 into the middle, and was at risk when Zhenjie Hou announced all in from the hijack. Jaisingh and Phan got out of the way, and the cards were turned up.
Nicholas Atehortua: Q♥J♥ 
Zhenjie Hou: 10♠10♦
Hou's pocket pair held through the 7♦K♣9♠ flop, but Atehortua connected with the J♦ turn to take the lead. The 7♠ river changed nothing, and Atehortua stayed alive by winning the flip against Hou.
