Miracle River for Finstein
Level 29
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On a flop 2?5?7?, Michael Finstein check-raised to 170,000 a bet from Aleksandr Gofman. The latter raised it to 385,000 and after a long thinking, Finstein called.
The turn was the 6? and Finstein checked. Gofman shoved, putting Finstein at risk and after a few minutes, Finstein called for a remaining stack around 470,000:
Michael Finstein: K?7?
Aleksandr Gofman: J?J?
Finstein was in terrible shape for his tournament's life but a miracle K? showed up on the river to save him with two pair and give him the double up.
