Beliauskas Spikes Miracle River for Survival
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action on a turn of 8?8?A?8?, Paul Corrway checked out of the big blind to Vidmantas Beliauskas in early position. Beliauskas made a bet of 225,000, after which Corrway jammed all in.
Beliauskas quickly tossed in his stack of 725,000 chips to risk his tournament life.
Vidmantas Beliauskas: J?J? 
Paul Corrway: A?5?
"If you have an ace, you win," Beliauskas claimed before the showdown. However, that turned out to be a lie as the J? river gave the Lithuanian a better full house.
He raked in a lucky double-up and thanked his lucky stars as he sat back down.
