Rickie Merritt Spikes a Ten to survive

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The player first to act opened to 25,000. Action was folded around to Rickie Merritt, on the button, who announced, ''All in,'' for a total of 141,000. The blinds folded, but his opponent called.

Rickie Merritt: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Kings were still ahead on the {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and {9-Hearts} turn, and Merritt was ready to go. However, things changed when the river brought the {10-Hearts} for Merritt to make his set.
