Lofberg Spikes the River to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rebelo Marques raised to 12,000 from early position and Simon Lofberg three-bet to 35,000 from a few seats to his left. When it folded back to Marques, he shoved for Lofberg's remaining 2,000, which Lofberg called.
Simon Lofberg: A?Q? 
Rebelo Marques: J?10?
Marques needed to hit if he was to send the remaining players closer to Day 2. The flop of J?10?8? was great for Marques as he improved to top two pair. The 3? turn followed by the K? river gave Lofberg the winner with a straight, and he earned the much-needed double-up.
