Saved by the King
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eric Wu got it all in with his remaining 130,000 in the hijack. Alexandre Arantes on his direct left reshoved for just south of 500,000. Nobody else opted to call.
Eric Wu: A♠2♥ 
Alexandre Arantes: A♦J♥
Wu was in terrible shape, and couldn't improve on the K♥4♠4♦ flop. The turn 6♥ changed nothing, but the river K♦ was a salvation, as the two chopped up the dead money in the pot.
