Set of Ducks for Fan
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Scott Mikesell began the action with a raise from the button to 5,000 after the table folded to him. Michael Fan chose to play for more and jammed for 20,500. Mikesell took some time to ponder his decision before he eventually committed to a call to put Fan at risk for his tournament life.
Michael Fan: 2♦2♥
Scott Mikesell: Q♣J♠
Fan held a slim lead, but he needed his ducks to hold to stay alive. The flop was a favorable one as it came 3♣6♠5♠ to give Fan a straight draw as well as his pair.
The 8♦ turn was good for Fan, and he upgraded to a set of deuces when the 2♠ rolled off on the river.
