Mao Survives on the River

Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 7?K?6?, Renji Mao moved all in for 117,000 from the big blind and Louis Linard called under the gun.
Renji Mao: A?7?
Louis Linard: K?J?
Linard was ahead with his pair of kings as the 8? turn left Mao a card away from elimination. The river, though, was the A? and Mao improved to two pair to double up.
