Savior Jack on the River Keeps Liperis Alive
Nivel 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Georgios Skarparis started the action with a raise to 16,000 from early position, and Yiannis Liperis, sitting on the button, responded by going all in. Skarparis quickly called, and the cards were revealed.
Yiannis Liperis: A♠Q♥
Georgios Skarparis: A♦K♥
Liperis was slightly behind, and the flop Q♣7♥K♣ gave both players a pair, but Skarparis had the better one with kings.
Liperis stood up as the 10♥ hit the turn, but Skarparis, still in his seat, remarked, "Maybe there's a jack." He was right—the river revealed the J♣, saving Liperis and resulting in a split pot.
