Ten Pointer For Backstrom
Level 30: 50,000/100,000 (100,000)
Entries: 31/2045
After an early position open, Per Joakim Backstrom went all-in for his last 1,345,000 (13.5 big blinds), and Rui Soares re-jammed with his massive stack. The original raiser folded, setting up a showdown:
- Per Joakim Backstrom: 10♠10♣
- Rui Soares: A♥Q♠
The flop delivered a 10♥4♥9♠, with a ten right in the window, putting Backstrom in excellent shape. But the tension rose on the K♥ turn, giving Soares a hefty 13 outs. Fortunately for Backstrom, the river was a total blank with the 2♣, allowing him to secure a crucial double-up!
Per Joakim Backstrom – 3,100,000
Rui Soares – 3,600,000
