Brad Booth Survives

[user67765]

Brad Booth put the last of his chips in on the turn and sensed he was in trouble. The board read {7-Clubs}

and Booth showed {Q-Clubs}

for a pair of queens and weak low against Max Pescatori's {J-Clubs}

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.
