Chris Pasion rivers it to crack aces


Christopher Pasion was happy to see the river give him exactly what he needed to stay alive. The hand opened with utg Feng Zhao raising to 12k, cutoff Pak Seok Won and big blind Pasion called. When the flop ran 3 6 9, action was checked to Pak who bet 22k. After tanking, Pasion announced all in, Zhao quickly folded, Pak called.

The turn J was no help to Pasion but the river 2 was good for a straight to sit back down and collect his double up. Pasion up to 206k, Pak dropped to 420k.
