Stanislav Kriventsov: K♣K♦

Stevenson was in deep trouble against the pocket kings of Kriventsov, but the flop brought some good news as the board fanned out J♥2♥6♥ to give Stevenson a set.

Erick Torres

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Over 20,000 was already in the middle on the flop of K♦J♦5♥. Benjamin Primus opted to jam from the small blind for approximately 8,000, which led to a call from Dustin Cavanaugh in the next seat over. Dustin Iannotti gave it some thought before he folded from the cutoff and sent Primus and Cavanaugh to a showdown with Primus at risk.

Benjamin Primus: J♠10♠ All in
Dustin Cavanaugh: K♥J♣

Cavanaugh held a dominant lead over Primus with his two pair. Primus was going to need some help on the turn just to stay alive.

The Q♣ turn gave Primus some hope as it gave him a straight draw.

As Primus began to stand up and pack his bag, the miracle on the river came when it peeled the 9♠ to give Primus the straight.

Dustin Cavanaugh	57,000
Benjamin Primus	38,000 25,000	25,000
Dustin Iannotti	33,000
