Guerin Chops to Stay Alive
Level 16
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Didier Guerin opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Aliaksei Boika three-bet to 400,000 from the small blind. Guerin moved all in for 2,030,000 and Boika snap called, having just 5,000 spare.
Didier Guerin: A♣Q♥
Aliaksei Boika: A♦K♣
Boika flopped the broadway straight on the Q♠J♦10♥ flop, and it looked like Guerin was about to be eliminated after seeing the 3♥ turn.
However, the river saw the K♠ come in which sent the players to a chop, saving Guerin from being eliminated from the high roller event late into the evening.
