Wantman Got What He Wanted

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Matthew Wantman raised under the gun to 25,000 chips. Luigi Shehadeh made it 65,000 to go.

Wantman, who had 60,000, made the call.

Matthew Wantman: 77All in
Luigi Shehadeh: QQ

The help Wantman needed came on the turn in a runout of K10K72 that gave him a tournament-lifesaving double-up.
