Fischer Stays Alive
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Aaron Katz checked from the big blind on the turn of a board that showed 6♥A♥5♦K♠. Veselin Karakitukov bet 75,000 from the hijack before Noah Fischer jammed for 160,000 from the button. Katz folded, but Karakitukov reluctantly called.
Noah Fischer: A♠A♣J♣10♦
Veselin Karakitukov: K♥10♥9♠8♥
Karakitukov needed a heart or seven on the river to beat Fischer's set of aces. The 9♦ fell on the river, and Fischer earned the much-needed double-up.
