Springhael Gets Lucky to Survive

From the cutoff, Jordan Cristos opened to 65,000, and Joris Springael moved all in from the small blind for 505,000. Cristos called, and the cards were tabled.

Springael: :::6s:::6h
Cristos: :::Kh:::Ks

The flop of :::Jd:::6d:::5d thrust Springael into the lead, and when the turn and river landed the :::3s and :::Qd, he would double to nearly 1.1 million as Cristos dropped to 2.4 million in chips.

Jordan Cristos 2,380,000 -530,000
Joris Springael 1,070,000 545,000
