Gehri Finds the Perfect River to Survive
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
When it folded to Antonio Chiafala in the small blind, he looked at his cards then shoved. The raise was for all of Bernd Gehri's 39,000 chips in the big blind.
Gehri looked at his cards and then flipped a coin. The coin landed on what Gehri considered a call, so he slammed in the chips.
Bernd Gehri: 10♠9♠ 
Antonio Chiafala: A♥6♣
Chiafala was ahead with ace-high, but Gehri had a hand with a lot of potential.
The K♣3♠Q♥ flop gave Gehri some extra outs with a gutshot straight draw. The 4♣ on the turn was a brick, but the 9♣ river put Gehri in the lead with a pair of nines, and he doubled up.
