Carey Spikes Flop to Stay Alive
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
A series of raises led to Irene Carey wagering 1,175,000 from the big blind. Erik Rozhynskyi responded with an all-in from the cutoff, and Carey called to put herself at risk for 2,525,000.
Irene Carey: 10♦10♥
Erik Rozhynskyi: K♠K♦
Carey was well behind, but the flop came to the rescue when it fanned out 2♠3♥10♠ to give Carey top set.
The 7♠ turn gave Rozhynskyi a flush draw, but the Q♦ was a blank as Carey avoided elimination and won a major pot.
