Tamayo Drills the River to Survive
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Terrance Reid raised to 16,000 in the hijack and Jonathan Tamayo moved all in for 143,000 in the cutoff. Jonathan Borenstein then reshoved in the big blind and Reid got out of the way.
Jonathan Tamayo: A?K? 
Jonathan Borenstein: 10?10?
"Fair," Tamayo said upon seeing he was flipping for his tournament life.
"I hope you lose. I don't care that you're in the tournament, I just want the chips," Borenstein replied.
Borenstein stayed in the lead through the turn on a board of J?3?J?9?, but Tamayo hit the K? on the river to make two pair and double up.
