Tabasco Saved on the River
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Joseph Tabasco let out a loud cheer at table 23, as he watched his tournament come back to life.
Tabasco was all in from the hijack on the Q♦10♥6♣9♥ turn, at risk against Chan Kim in the big blind.
Joseph Tabasco: A♦J♣ 
Chan Kim: K♥J♠
Kim flipped over a straight, leaving Tabasco drawing very thin with one card to come. The dealer flipped over the K♠ river, giving Tabasco a better straight to stay alive by doubling through Kim.
