Morales Spikes the River to Survive
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mitchell Morales moved all in for 36,000 under the gun and Libby Wilson put him at risk in the small blind.
Mitchell Morales: A♦Q♠
Libby Wilson: K♥J♥
The J♦9♥4♥ flop not only gave Wilson top pair, but she also picked up a flush draw to take away some of Morales' outs. The turn was the 8♦, but Morales caught the A♣ on the river to win the pot and double up.
"I got lucky," he said.
