Barshak's Set Keeps Him Alive
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Acton was picked up when Ivan Uzunov from the cutoff, called the all-in bet from Stanislav Barshak for 218,000 from the big blind.
Stanislav Barshak: 5♥5♣ 
Ivan Uzunov: A♣10♥
It was a flip for Barshak's tournament life, but when the flop came 8♣5♦9♠ it left Uzunov needing running straight cards to beat the set of fives from Barshak. But the 3♠ on the turn left Uzunov drawing dead when the 7♠ hit the river, to give Barshak the double up.
