Turn Ace Keeps Desai Alive

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Akash Desai was at risk against the big stack of Daniel Kim.

Kim had the lead as he held {10-}{10-} while Desai needed an ace or king with {a-}{k-}.

The flop came {6-}{7-}{j-}. But the turn was a {k-} and Desai was suddenly in a good spot. The river was a {4-} to confirm the double up for Desai and deny Kim the chance to move close to a million in chips.
