Geiger Drills the River to Survive
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ohad Geiger jammed for 6,200,000 from the button, and Yilu Yuan snapped him off from the big blind.
Ohad Geiger: A♦10♣
Yilu Yuan: 9♦9♥
It was another race at the final table, and a win would have given Yuan a huge chip lead.
Geiger found no help on the 2♠4♥8♦ flop or the 8♠ turn. Needing a ten, he got exactly that when the dealer peeled off the 10♥ on the river, giving him top pair and a double-up to more than 12,000,000.
