Mugar Saved By the River
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Peter Mugar jammed for 1,200,000 under the gun and Chenxiang Miao made the call from the small blind to put him at risk.
Peter Mugar: K♠Q♥
Chenxiang Miao: J♠J♦
Mugar needed to win the flip or he would be the first casualty of the day.
Miao's two jacks stayed good through the 2♦A♠8♠ flop and 4♣ turn. However, the Q♠ river was exactly what Mugar needed, and he doubled up.
