Szarka Drills an Ace on the River to Survive
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Zoltan Szarka jammed under the gun for 122,000, and Aaron Duczak moved all in himself from the next seat for around 260,000. The rest of the table folded, and the players went to a showdown.
Zoltan Szarka: A♠6♠ 
Aaron Duczak: J♣J♥
Szarka was already up out of his seat upon seeing that he was up against Duczak's two jacks. Szarka found no help on the 5♥Q♥3♦ flop or Q♣ turn. However, the miracle A♦ appeared on the river to complete the board and give Szarka exactly what he needed to remain in the Main Event.
