King on the River Keeps Pearson Alive

Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Travis Pearson was at risk for 86,000 against Klemens Roiter.
Travis Pearson: K?K?Q?5?
Klemens Roiter: A?A?10?2?
Pearson had run into the aces of Roiter and the J?8?4? flop wasn't looking promising. The 9? turn gave him a gutshot to go along with his kings and the K? landed on the river for him to remain sitting as he dragged the pot.
