Lita Survives on the River
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With around 150,000 in the middle on a board of 10♥4♣A♥K♣, Valentin Lita moved all in for 75,000 from early position. "We know you have an ace, don't worry," Boris Kravets told him as he tanked for a few minutes in the big blind, and he eventually called.
Lita turned over Q♦Q♠, but he was behind Kravets' K♠J♠. The river, though, brought the J♦ to give Lita a straight and the double up.
"You read me wrong," Lita told him.
