Zipf Spikes the River Against Ludovisi
Level 22
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Robert Zipf shoved from under the gun for 177,000 and Leonardo Ludovisi put in the call from the button.
Robert Zipf: J♥J♣ 
Leonardo Ludovisi: Q♥Q♣
Zipf was in trouble and his suits were even covered by the bigger pair of Ludovisi. A flop of 2♠8♥3♥ gave Zipf absolutely nothing to work with, and he was left with one shot at two outs after the 5♠ turn.
A thunderous roar echoed across the tournament floor when the J♦ fell on the river as Zipf made a miracle set to come back from the brink of elimination.
Good news for Zipf, not so much for Ludovisi.
