Ace on the River Saves Paredes

Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Victor Paredes jammed his last 595,000 from the cutoff and Justin Belforti called in the big blind.

Justin Belforti: J?10?
The J?9?7? flop paired Belforti, leaving Paredes drawing thin. The 4? turn was no help but the A? landed on the river, keeping Paredes in the game.
