Saved by the King
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Under the gun player Timothy Flattery opened up the action to 2,000, and action folded all around to the table's shortest stack, Christopher Agnello. Agnello, in the big blind, shoved his remaining stack, which was worked out to be 11,300 in chips. After a bit of deliberation, Flattery made the call.
Christopher Agnello: K♣10♣ 
Timothy Flattery: 9♥8♥
The 3♠4♥2♦ flop seemed relatively safe, but the 8♠ turn left Agnello drawing thin. He stood up and started to put his bag on, ready to leave, before seeing the K♥ on the river. He retook his seat, announcing "saved by the king!"
