Event 7: Staying Alive

$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 16: 2,000/4,000/500 ante

Two simultaneous hands on Tables 23 and 24 showed what it takes to go deep in these big fields. A lot of skill and a little luck.

Julian Milliard was in a great position to send an opponent out when the chips in the middle with his KcKh against AdKd.

“Ace one time,” his opponent requested before the flop rolled out Ah8h4h. It was Milliard’s turn to ask for a card but instead of the heart he requested, it was the Ks on the turn. No two out miracle on the river and he stacked the 1-seat.

At the same time next to Milliard’s table, Jay Romano was all-in and in trouble with 7d7c against QhQs. The AdKd6d flop was useless but the 7s turn kept his dream alive.
