Eichler Saved by the River
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Hrayr Grigoryan opened to 1,300 from the hijack and was called by EPT champion Giuliano Bendinelli in the small blind. Damian Eichler in the big blind raised all-in for 10,800. Grigoryan called, but Bendinelli folded.
Damian Eichler: A♥10♣ 
Hrayr Grigoryan: A♦4♦
Eichler was in the lead and flopped a straight draw on K♥J♠7♦, but Grigoryan hit a pair with the 4♠ turn. Despite this card, Eichler was lucky enough to see the Q♠ river complete his straight and he doubled up.
