McEwen Saved with Ace from Space
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Michael Zuro opened to 30,000 from the cutoff but then Preston McEwen moved all in for 151,000 to his left. Action folded back around to ZUro who quickly made the call to put McEwen at risk and the cards were tabled.
Preston McEwen: A♦9♦
Michael Zuro: 9♣9♠
McEwen would need some help to stay alive, and it wasn't looking good on the turn 5♣5♠3♥7♣, but the river was his saving grace as the A♥ peeled on the river to award him the big double-up.
