Verderamo Survives on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matthew Faust raised to 30,000 under the gun before Nicholas Verderamo reraised to 220,000 in middle position. Faust quickly called and turned over A♦K♠, but Verderamo still had 20,000 behind.
The flop came K♣9♣5♥ and Faust bet to put Verderamo all in. Verderamo then tossed in his last chips.
Nicholas Verderamo: K♦Q♦ 
Matthew Faust: A♦K♠
Both players had flopped top pair, but Faust was ahead with his ace-kicker. The turn was the 5♠, but Verderamo spiked the Q♣ on the river to make two pair and double up.
