Shin Spikes Turn to Stay Alive
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ari Shin found out he was in rough shape when cards went on their backs preflop. Shin began the action with an open shove from early position.
Elvyn Bello called from the big blind to put Shin at risk.
Ari Shin: 10♥10♠
Elvyn Bello: J♥J♠
Bello held the advantage of pair over pair on the A♦Q♥9♣ flop, but Shin spiked his two-outer on the turn when the 10♣ rolled over.
The 3♦ sealed the hand in Shin's favor awarding him the double up.
