"I Felt Lucky"

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aleksandr Shevliakov
Aleksandr Shevliakov

Aleksandr Shevlyakov opened under the gun, and Victor Masanes Arauz called two spots over. In the big blind, Andrew Dickinson squeezed to 30,000. Shevliakov then four-bet to 70,000. After flattening the initial raise, Arauz pushed his 87,000 stack into the middle. Dickinson painfully folded before Shevliakov tossed in the few extra chips.

Victor Masanes Arauz: 8♥7♥ All in
Aleksandr Shevlyakov: A♥A♦

Arauz put his Main Event tournament life on the line with the suited connector facing a four-bet for his last 22 blinds. However, he found some life on the K♣7♣4♦ flop with a pair.

The K♠ turn counterfeited his two pair outs, and only a seven could save him now. He couldn't find one on the Q♦ river as he stood up from his chair with a smile on his face.

"I felt lucky," were the only words spoken by Arauz as he took his leave from the tournament.
