Stefanski Wins a Flip
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
David Stefanski was all in preflop and at risk against Ian Gavlick in a classic coin flip situation.
David Stefanski: 8♦8♥ 
Ian Gavlick: K♦Q♦
The flop came 7♠5♥6♠ with Stefanski's pair of eights still in the lead. That was until Gavlick pulled ahead on the Q♥ turn, pairing his queen.
The river landed the 9♥ and Stefanski improved to a straight to earn the much needed double up.
