Blanco Hits the River to Stay Alive
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The action folded to Lucas Blanco in the small blind who made it 200,000, and left himself a single chip worth 5,000 behind. Jake Schwartz then shoved all in from the big blind, and Blanco called.
Lucas Blanco: A♠2♣ 
Jake Schwartz: K♥5♣
Schwartz picked up a gutshot on the 10♣9♦Q♣ flop and completed it on the J♦ turn. Only a king on the river could keep Blanco alive and he did survive as the K♠ gave him a higher straight.
