Neto Cracks Aces to Survive
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Qiaonan Liu limped under the gun, allowing Isaac Kempton's pot bet to reach 135,000. Aristoteles Neto then shoved for 260,000 when action got to him in the small blind, and Kempton snapped after Liu's fold.
Aristoteles Neto: J♥10♠7♥3♠ 
Isaac Kempton: A♣A♠J♠9♠
Neto was behind as it stood, but the Q♠K♦9♥ flop sent him straight into the lead, as Kempton could only knock him out with a ten or backdoors. The 6♠ turn brought in an extra sweat, but Neto was able to hold on the 3♦ river to double up.
