Cruz Spikes Ace on River and Doubles Through Halverson
Level 24
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A series of preflop raises saw Francis Cruz four-bet jam for 1,640,000 from the button only to have Mitchell Halverson snap-call from the small blind.
Francis Cruz:
Mitchell Halverson:
It was a classic race with Cruz looking to connect with either of his two overs but neither came after the flop hit the felt.
The turn brought possible chop outs if a four or nine were to fall but luckily for Cruz, it was the
that completed the board on the river and kept his Main Event hopes alive.
