Aljoher Spikes the River
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Johns opened the cutoff to 10,000 before the small blind jammed for 33,000. In the big blind, Saad Aljoher rejammed and Johns quickly folded.
Small Blind: 3♠3♣ 
Saad Aljoher: A♥10♠
It was a coinflip scenario with Aljoher needing to connect. The baby pocket pair remained ahead on the J♥6♦2♦ flop and the 7♦ turn. However, the 10♥ landed on the river to give Aljoher the winner as the field size ticked down to 28 players.
