Branciforte Hits a Two-Outer to Survive
Level 35
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Vito Branciforte shoved for 2,490,000 from under the gun and Georgios Tsouloftas called on the button.
Vito Branciforte: 5?5? 
Georgios Tsouloftas: 10?10?
Branciforte was way behind and looked likely to be the final table bubble boy, especially after the 8?K?J? flop. However, the 5? turn improved him to a set and left him one card away from a double-up.
The 7? on the river changed nothing, and Tsouloftas had to fork out a portion of his stack.
