The River Saves Sibgatova
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alisa Sibgatova shoved her stack of 30,000 into the middle from under the gun. The rest of the table folded all the way around to Andrey Pateychuk in the big blind, who took a quick peek at his cards and then instantly called.
Alisa Sibgatova: A?J? 
Andrey Pateychuk: A?K?
Sibgatove needed to find a jack or some spades if she was to survive. The flop of 6?6?3? offered up so chop options, and the 10? turn gave a few more. Sibgatova began to get out of her chair until the J? dropped on the river to give her the winner with a pair of jacks.
