Procop Spikes the River to Avoid Elimination
Nível 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Egor Procop limped in from the small blind and Adrian Mateos made it 300,000 from the big blind. Procop then shoved for a little over 2,000,000, and Mateos called.
Egor Procop: K♣5♣ 
Adrian Mateos: A♠8♠
Procop needed to find some help from the dealer and did pair his five on the 8♦5♠10♦ flop, but Mateos also paired his eight. The 2♥ turn changed nothing, but Procop's survival instincts kicked in and he willed in the K♠ river, which gave him two pair and kept his tournament life alive.
