Nasreddine Spikes the River to Stay Alive
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
As recalled by the players the pre-flop action went open under the gun, three-bet from big blind, four-bet and five-bet all in and the cards were revealed.
Rania Nasreddine: A♠Q♠
Frank Marasco: A♥K♦
Nasreddine was in trouble and needed help to stay alive. None was forthcoming on the 2♦6♣3♣ flop nor the 9♣ turn,. But when the dealer peeled off the Q♦ on the river, Nasreddine let out a cry of relief as she hit her pair to stay alive with a double-up.
