Anderson Beats Lima's Fives
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Francis Anderson opened for 6,500 and got a caller in Nicolas Kohan in the small blind. Karina Lima, decided to shove all in from the big blind for about 58,000, prompting Anderson to ask for a count.
After the count was made, Anderson responded with his own all-in jam, pushing Kohan out of the pot and leaving the two players to head to showdown.
Karina Lima: 5♣5♠
Francis Anderson: K♥10♥
Anderson need to hit one of his overcards to beat Lima's pocket fives. It didn't happen when the flop dropped 9♥2♣J♦, but the K♦ turn gave Anderson what he wanted, leaving Lima to hope for a miracle. That miracle didn't arrive on the A♥ river, eliminating Lima as Anderson scooped the pot.
