Estes Spikes an Ace to Survive
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski was sitting under the gun with the all-in button in front of his stack. Action was on Zackary Estes in the hijack, who had already committed 240,000 to the pot. Estes called off his remaining stack, putting himself at risk for 625,000.
Zackary Estes: A♦K♦
Mikita Badziakouski: K♥K♣
Estes missed on the 8♣8♠7♦ flop, but the dealer peeled an A♣ turn, which put him ahead. The Q♠ river didn't change the outcome, and he remained in the tournament and had double the stack to play with.
