Paleologos Finds a Miracle on the River
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Andreas Paleologos moved all in for 970,000 under the gun, Ioannis Temekonidis reshoved next to act, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Andreas Paleologos: A♣5♣
Ioannis Temekonidis: A♠K♥
Paleologos was at risk and dominated heading to the 7♠6♠J♥ flop. The 4♠ turn gave him some hope with a straight draw, and he hit the 8♥ on the river to complete his straight and double up.
