Joyce Spikes an Ace Against Skanis' Cowboys
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Philip Joyce risked it all on the bubble and it paid off!
Sergei Varnaev started with a raise from early position and Joyce called on the button, before Renars Skanis three-bet the small blind to 150,000. Varnaev called the 150,000, then Joyce made it 500,000, leaving himself around 150,000 behind. Skanis then shoved, Varnaev folded, and Joyce — after taking a peek at the clock — called.
Philip Joyce: A?K? 
Renars Skanis: KxKx
It wasn't looking good for Joyce...until an ace dropped on the turn to give him the pot and keep him alive!
