Saved by the River

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Tom Babiarz was in the big blind and led out for 8,000 on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. With about 10,000 in the pot, his opponent on the button jammed his stack in the middle and Babiarz called.

To his disappointment, his two pair with {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} was no good against his opponent's {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, up against a straight.

Sure enough, the river was the {8-Spades} and Babiarz filled up to avoid being eliminated.
