Saved by the River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With 20,000 sitting in the middle Robert Trobridge bet 30,000 with a board of 
showing. His only opponent, Ryutaro Kawase in the hijack, re-raised to 130,000 which more than covered Trobridge's stack. Trobridge went deep into the tank before he finally called and cards were up.
Robert Trowbridge: 
Ryutaro Kawase: 
Kawase had flopped nines full of queens and Trowbridge thought he was done for until the 
hit on the river. Both stared at the board in disbelief that Trowbridge hit queens full of kings to get the double up.
Another player told Trowbridge, "You've been so patient all day, you were bound to get one!"
