Frey Finds a Miracle on the River
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Daniel Frey raised to 30,000 in the cutoff, Tjan Tepeh three-bet to 80,000 on the button, and Frey called.
The flop came K♣Q♦6♥ and Tepeh bet 40,000. Frey called and the 8♠ fell on the turn.
Tepeh then bet 70,000, Frey moved all in for 330,000, and Tepeh snap-called. Tepeh turned over A♠A♣, while Frey could only show K♦J♦ for a pair of kings and was already up from his seat and putting on his jacket going to the river.
The dealer turned over the J♣ and Frey loudly clapped his hands together as he made two pair to crack Tepeh's aces and earn him a fortunate double up. He stopped to snap a photo of the board while Tepeh cut out the chips to pay him off.
