Mamut Completes the Comeback

James Gorham open jammed his remaining 474,000 chips and was snap called by Nikolai Mamut in the big blind, putting Gorham at risk.

James Gorham A♥8♠ All in
Nikolai Mamut A♣J♠

Gorham needed help to stay alive in this heads-up event, and the flop that came 6♣9♦4♠ did not give him any additional outs. The K♣ on the turn meant that only an eight would keep him in the tournament. The 9♣ on the river secured Mamut the victory, and he will advance to play Maro Grujic in the Quarterfinals later today.
