Twito Smashes the River to Survive

Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Liran Twito on the button was involved in a hand with Richard Gryko in the big blind.
With the board reading Q?J?A?9? Gryko bet out 600,000. Twito responded by moving all in for a little over 2,000,000 and Gryko quickly called to put his opponent at risk.
Liran Twito: K?Q?Q?J?
Richard Gryko: A?A?J?2?
Gryko was ahead with his superior set but the river came 10? to improve Twito to a straight to hand him a big double while leaving Gryko with a bitter taste in his mouth.
