King on the River Keeps Marki Alive

Level 35
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Luca Marki shoved 2,750,000 in the small blind, and Stanislav Zegal called in the big blind.
Stanislav Zegal: Q?J?
Luca Marki: K?8?
The A?J?7? flop gave Zegal a pair of jacks to take the lead. The 6? hit the turn, leaving Marki needing a king for a better pair. The K? river was just that as he celebrated with a cheer.
