"Miracle at Table 20" as Acton Hits Runner-Runner on Money Bubble
There was a "miracle at Table 20," as one floor supervisor put it, on the money bubble of Day 1j of the $350 Mini-Main as Kimberly Acton went runner-runner to stay alive.
Acton was in serious risk of bubbling as she was all in against an opponent who had her covered.
Kimberly Acton: K♣8♣
Opponent: A♠10♦
The flop of A♦5♦6♣ had Acton drawing practically dead as her opponent paired his ace, but the K♥ turn gave her a chance of making runner-runner trips or two pair.
That's exactly what happened as the 8♠ landed on the river to bring screams from the whole table as Acton doubled up to stay alive.
