Running Good Like The Penguins

James Honeybone

Grant Harris opened to 3,000 and James Honeybone pushed all in for 30,200. Yasuchika Kayano made an instant call and Harris folded.

Kayano: {A-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Honeybone: {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to make Honeybone's chances of survival grim. The {q-Hearts} hit the turn to give him outs to a gutshot and he hit it on the river {j-Clubs}.

"Today may well be my lucky day," said Honeybone who is wearing his Pittsburgh Penguins NHL jersey in the hopes of running good like the currently 6-1 Penguins.
