Edler Doubles Through Ramirez

[user38449]

Bill Edler

Facing a 110,000 preflop raise from Senovio Ramirez III on the button, Bill Edler opted to move all in for a total of 868,000. Ramirez went into the tank for quite some time before having the clock called on him, but eventually decided to make the call holding {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

; Edler revealed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

.

The

{4-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

flop looked disastrous for Edler, whose tournament life was on the line, and the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

on the turn diminished his hopes even further.

Edler would need an ace only on the river to stay alive and sure enough, the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

was the last card to fall off the deck, giving Edler second life.

After the hand, Bill improved to 1,850,000 in chips while Ramirez dropped to 520,000.
