Meskin Saved by the River
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mike Meskin was already all in and at risk against Carlos Pombal Peixoto, who sat to his direct left. Meskin had just secured a double-up after getting his remaining chips in with pocket queens for his last ~30,000.
Mike Meskin: Q♣Q♠
Carlos Pombal Peixoto: A♠Q♦
The A♦5♠5♦ flop was looking scary for Meskin, and Peixoto took the lead. There was no help on the 2♠ turn either, but a Q♥ river was enough to save him from an early elimination.
