Soyza Spikes the River
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Paulo Drummond opened to 25,000 from the hijack, and Michael Soyza moved all in from the small blind for 280,000. Dejan Kaladjurdjevic asked for a count before shoving his larger stack from the big blind, and Drummond quickly got out of the way.
Michael Soyza: 9♣9♦
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: K♠K♥
Kaladjurdjevic's kings were well in front, and maintained that advantage through the 3♠4♦2♣ flop and 2♥ turn. Soyza then spiked the 9♠ river, cracking kings to stay alive.
