Konishi Gets There on the River
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Under the gun moved all in and got a single call from Akihiro Konishi in the big blind. Konishi was covered by the under-the-gun player and all in and at risk, for around 30,000.
Akihiro Konishi: 4?4?
Under the gun: 6?6?
Both players were sitting with a low pocket pair and it was Konishi who needed to improve.
The K?A?2? flop wasn't looking too promising for Konishi but the 3? turn brought in the backdoor straight.
The 5? river got Konishi there and gave him the straight to save him from elimination.
