Almeida Averts Disaster

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Alvaro Almeida was under the gun and had raised to an unknown amount, placing two T-25,000 chips in front of him. Joe O'Neill, who told PokerNews that he folded kings preflop correctly yesterday, was in the cutoff and made it 127,000 to go.

Almeida was in the tank for several minutes before announcing a call and the {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop was dealt. Almeida instantly led all-in for 249,000 chips and O'Neill snap called with the covering stack.

Alvaro Almeida: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Joe O'Neill: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Top pair for Almeida but he was in dire shape against the overpair of O'Neill.

O'Neill let out an expletive as the {a-Clubs} turn hit the felt, turning the tables massively in Almeida's favor. The {4-Clubs} river did nothing to amend the situation and Almeida was as happy as could be that he was still in contention for the final table.
