Green Cracks Aces
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Pedro Green announced all in from late position and was snap called by Phovieng Keokham, putting Green at risk for his tournament life.
Pedro Green: A♦10♣
Phovieng Keokham: A♣A♠
Green was in rough shape, but an all-diamond flop of K♦8♦10♦ gave Green new hope against the aces of Keokham.
Diamonds in this instance were Green's best friend as the 2♦ turn officially cracked the aces at a critical juncture of the final table for Green to keep his hopes of the top prize and the bracelet alive, much to the dismay of Keokham. The 4♥ river changed nothing, awarding Green the pot.
