Lonis Hits Two Outer to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jesse Lonis moved all-in for 520,000 on the button and was at risk when the chip leader, Danilo Velasevic, called from the small blind.
Jesse Lonis: 7♠7♦
Danilo Velasevic: Q♥Q♦
The underdog tag didn't stick around for Lonis, as the 2♥A♠7♥ flop saw him leapfrog Velasevic into the lead. There was no reversal in fortunes for Velasevic, who paid Lonis his double-up when the 9♦ and J♠ completed the board.
