Boujmala Finds the River to Stay Alive
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Samy Boujmala made it 655,00 to go on the button and left himself just a few chips behind. Allen Shen was next to act in the small blind and he shoved, then when it got back to Boujmala, he called.
Samy Boujmala: K♦7♣
Allen Shen: A♠K♥
Shen had picked up Big Slick again and was the favorite to win the hand and eliminate Boujmala. It was all going to plan for Shen on the 5♠5♥6♦Q♥ board, but the 7♦ river gave Boujmala a pair and kept him alive.
