Kauffman Uses Stand-Up Equity to Stay Alive
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Freeman Kauffman shoved all in for 131,000 from early position and Tony Dam also shoved all in behind for around 240,000. The rest of the table folded which left Kauffman at risk.
Freeman Kauffman: 7?7? 
Tony Dam: A?K?
Kauffman's run in the event seemed to have come to an end as a king appeared in the window on the J?2?K? flop. As the turn was about to be dealt, Kauffman stood up and grabbed his belongings, but swiftly sat back down as the 7? rolled off on the turn, which improved him to an unbeatable set. The meaningless 9? completed the board and Kauffman doubled up.
