Dead Man's Hand Gives Life to Bernal
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
William McDowell limped from the cutoff before Santiago Bernal shoved for his last 9,300 on the button. Thanh Le called from the small blind, but McDowell folded. Bernal was at risk.
Santiago Bernal: A♣8♠
Thanh Le: 10♠10♦
Bernal was in need of help, as Le had him in trouble with his pair of tens going into the runout.
Bernal would like what he saw on the flop when it came A♦J♣8♣, improving him to the best hand with two pair.
The 3♦ turn and the 3♠ river were of no use to Le as Bernal doubled.
