Brad Booth Survives

Brad Booth put the last of his chips in on the turn and sensed he was in trouble. The board read {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and Booth showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of queens and weak low against Max Pescatori's {J-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} for top two pair and low draw.

Booth would have to dodge some cards on the river to survive and the {10-Hearts} was a relief as they chopped up the pot. Booth is on around 30,000 and will need a double up shortly to make the money.
