River Saves Perez

It came down to one last card for Hugo Perez. He was all in against Eric Bolinder's pocket sixes with {a-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. There was no help for Perez after the {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} flop or the {k-Spades} turn. His tournament could only be saved by a river ace or ten, and that's exactly what he got. The river fell {a-Clubs} to save a double-up for Perezz. He still is very short-stacked with 130,000, but it's better than being out of the tournament.

The next hand it was Bolinder's turn to be all in, with {k-Hearts} {q-Hearts} against Sanghyon Cheong's {a-} {9-}. Bolinder caught a king on the turn to preserve his own tournament.
