Daeges Survives on the River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kevin Berthelsen raised to 4,000 in the cutoff, Cody Daeges moved all in for 25,000 on the button, and Berthelsen called.
Cody Daeges: A♥Q♦
Kevin Berthelsen: 7♥7♠
Daeges was racing for his tournament life and picked up additional outs on the 2♥K♠10♠ flop. The 5♠ turn was no help, but Daeges hit the A♦ on the river to win the pot and double up.
"Better to be lucky," a tablemate said to him.
