Tsvetanov Stays Alive by Winning a Flip
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
From middle position, Presiyan Tsvetanov stuck his stack of 240,000 across the betting line, and was called by Mariusz Gomoła, who was seated on the button.
Presiyan Tsvetanov: A♣K♦ 
Mariusz Gomoła: 9♣10♠
Tsvetanov required his big slick to connect with the board to beat the two nines of Gomola.
Gomola's pair stayed ahead on the 8♥2♠2♥ flop, but the A♦ turn catapulted Tsvetanov into the lead with a pair of aces. The 4♥ river changed nothing, and Tsvetanov doubled through Gomola.
