Barry on the River for Rusinovas, No Spin for Esau
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
The action was picked up with Aleksandras Rusinovas all in on the button for 47,400, at risk against Paul Esau in the big blind.
Aleksandras Rusinovas: A♠Q♠
Paul Esau: 9♦9♣
The K♥7♦5♣5♦ board left Rusinovas with one foot out the door, but the A♥ river came to his rescue, seeing him survive with a full double-up.
That collision left Esau short-stacked, and he found himself all in and at risk the very next shuffle, but was unable to survive.
