Ace on the River Saves Ivarsson's Tournament Life

Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Scott Margereson opened 5,000 in the hijack before Alexander Ivarsson three-bet 15,000 on the button. Anton Wigg put in a four-bet to 37,500, forcing Margereson to fold before Ivarsson shoved 70,500. Wigg snap-called, sending both players' cards face-up.
Alexander Ivarsson: A?K?
Anton Wigg: K?K?
The J?9?7? flop was no help for Ivarsson, and the 4? turn was a brick as Ivarsson started to get out of his seat, but the A? river gave him the victory.
