Dean Rivers Case Nine to Stay Alive
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After an early position limp, Jeremy Schultz raised to 9,000 from the cutoff, Chan Pelton called from the small blind and Tom Dean squeezed for 43,000 from the big blind.
The early limper mucked their hand as did Schultz while Pelton called and the two players tabled their hands.
Tom Dean: 
Chan Pelton: 
Dean was ahead with his made hand of nines until the 
flop appeared giving Pelton top two-pair.
The 
turn wasn't the worst card for Dean as it gave him more outs with the club flush draw.
Luckily for Dean, it was the 
that kept his tournament alive on the river and Schultz let him know that it was also the case nine.

Pelton Jumps Aboard the Comeback Train
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chan Pelton limped in from early position, Dave Sanderson raised to 10,000 from middle position and Dan Bekavac three-bet jammed for 93,000 from the cutoff.
Action folded back around to Pelton who called off his 40,500 stack and Sanderson called having both opponent's covered.
Chan Pelton: 
Dan Bekavac: 
Dave Sanderson: 
Sanderson was well ahead with pocket aces and nothing changed after the 
flop.
The turn gave Sanderson a sweat as Bekavac picked-up the club draw but the 
completed the board on the river, securing Pelton's triple-up while Bekavac hit the rail.
