Boyko Finds Lucky Ace To Stay Alive
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Billy Rodgers opened to 80,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Yuriy Boyko in the big blind who tanked for awhile before moving all in for 520,000 total. Rodgers snap-called with a bigger stack and the cards were on their backs.
Yuriy Boyko: A♠K♠
Billy Rodgers: K♦K♥
Boyko was in need of help, and when the board ran out J♠J♦4♥A♣2♦, it was the miracle ace that saved the day for Boyko to score the full double up off Rodgers.
