Vranken Sees Uharcek's Aces, Calls Anyway
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Antoine Vranken potted to 105,000 preflop from middle position, leaving himself 20,000 behind. Marek Uharcek then repotted it from the cutoff and revealed his cards once the big blind folded, thinking Vranken was already all-in. Vranken saw the cards of Uharcek, and after burning through some time banks, he called.
Antoine Vranken: Q♦J♠10♥4♠ 
Marek Uharcek: A♠A♣K♥5♦
Vranken had some work to do, and did see a path to survival on the 4♣7♥9♥ flop with a straight draw. An 8♠ on the turn locked it up for him as he completed his straight, with the 9♦ dropping on the river.
