Leeson Catches Miracle To Double

On a flop of {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Justin Leeson led out with a bet of an unknown amount. His lone opponent slid out a raise and Leeson wasted no time shoving all in. His opponent snap called and Leeson tabled his hand to find out he was behind.

Leeson: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Leeson's opponent's set was way out in the lead and Leeson would need a miracle to stay alive in this tournament. The {10-Hearts} on the turn gave Leeson a few more outs to make a straight. The {J-Hearts} drilled the river giving Leeson his miracle straight and the winning hand. Players shot up from the table in a frenzy as Leeson celebrated that his tournament life was no longer at risk. He's currently sitting on about 95,000 in chips.
