A Lucky Turn for Meredith

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

In what was one of the first, but definitely not the last, aces versus kings confrontations, Toby Meredith emerged victorious with a little help from the poker gods. After a series of preflop raises and re-raises Meredith got it all in for his tournament life with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} of John Longoria.

The {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop offered no help to Meredith, but the {k-Diamonds} on the turn gave him new life, and the {6-Clubs} river secured his double-up to almost twice the starting stack.
