Belforti Saved by the River
Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Justin Belforti opened 3,000,000 on the button and Paolo Boi slid a stack of 500,000 chips across the line for a raise of 10,000,000. Belforti shrugged as he called off his stack of 5,675,000.
Justin Belforti: J?9? 
Paolo Boi: A?3?
The 10?8?5? flop gave Belforti an open-ended straight draw. The 10? turn was no help but the J? river paired his jack as he ran to the rail to give high fives all around.
