King on the River Saves Aerts' Tournament

Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Pieter Aerts opened 25,000 in early position before Laszlo Bujtas three-bet 70,000 in the hijack. The action folded back around to Aerts and he jammed for 335,000. Bujtas wasted no time making the call.
Pieter Aerts: A?K?
Laszlo Bujtas: Q?Q?
It was a race and the 9?8?5?8?K? runout meant Aerts could remain seated as he pulled in the pot with a pair of kings.
