Witek was clearly nervous, even admitting as much to the table. With a minimum payday of $19,227 lurking, the flop came down to put a dagger through Witek's heart. The turn gave Witek a few more outs to survive, and much to his relief, the spiked on the river to give him a pair of aces and the double.
