Cruz Spikes Ace on River and Doubles Through Halverson
Level 24
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
A series of preflop raises saw Francis Cruz four-bet jam for 1,640,000 from the button only to have Mitchell Halverson snap-call from the small blind.
Francis Cruz: 
Mitchell Halverson: 
It was a classic race with Cruz looking to connect with either of his two overs but neither came after the 
flop hit the felt.
The 
turn brought possible chop outs if a four or nine were to fall but luckily for Cruz, it was the 
that completed the board on the river and kept his Main Event hopes alive.
