Lucky is Good

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With some 300,000 chips already in the pot, Jon Cruz stared at a board of 9♣A♥K♦4♣8♠ and decided to go all-in. John Pointer called to put himself at risk for his final 200,000.

John Pointer: A♦Q♣All in
Jon Cruz: 9♠4♥

Pointer was crestfallen to see that his pair of aces were beaten by an off-brand two pair. Cruz said he had no idea Pointer had flopped such a strong hand.

"I was making a move and got lucky in turning two pair," he said.
