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 
against the 
of John Longoria.
The 
flop offered no help to Meredith, but the 
on the turn gave him new life, and the 
river secured his double-up to almost twice the starting stack.
