Lopez Counterfeits Kent to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kevin Kent opened in the cutoff and called the jam of 36,000 from Carlos Lopez in the small blind.
Carlos Lopez: A?2? 
Kevin Kent: 5?5?
Lopez only had one overcard to the pocket pair of Kent and the K?K?2? flop gave him a couple of extra outs. The 6? fell on the turn, and the 6? completed the board on the river for Lopez to remain seated with two pair, aces and sixes with an ace-kicker.
