Biedak Saved By the River
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Christopher Alcindor raised from the cutoff to 40,000. Joshua Biedak reraised to 210,000 from the small blind.
Big blind Song Wang folded. Alcindor made the call.
The flop hit 4♥10♦7♥.
Biedak checked. Alcindor bet 500,000 chips, which more than covered the 280,000 Biedak was holding. Biedack made the call, putting his tournament in jeopardy.
Joshua Biedak: A♠9♠7♦3♥2♣
Christopher Alcindor: J♣10♠10♣7♣3♦
Alcindor had flopped top set with three tens. Biedak had the nut-low draw and a pair of sevens.
Nothing changed when the J♦ hit on the turn, but the A♥ river kept Biedak alive, giving him half the pot with the nut-low.
