Brazilian Battle River Keeps Thiesen Alive
Level 28
: 15,000/30,000, 3,500 ante
Alex Papazian opened to 60,000 in early position, Brazilian Peter Patricio called in the cutoff, and Brazilian Igor "AMilhao" Thiesen shoved his stack of 599,687 into the middle. Papazian folded and Patricio called to see he had a better pocket pair.
Peter Patricio: 
Igor "AMilhao" Thiesen: 
The flop was 
to keep Patricio in the lead. The 
turn gave him a set but he was not out of the woods yet as Thiesen needed a seven on the river for a straight, and the 
river was peeled off to give Thiesen what he needed and keep his tournament hopes alive.
