Coleman Survives on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Niklas Astedt raised the button and then called the shove of David Coleman, who had around 110,000 in the small blind.
David Coleman: Q♥9♥ 
Niklas Astedt: A♦8♣
Coleman needed to connect, but didn't find anything on the 7♠3♣K♦ flop. An 8♦ on the turn left him with one chance at survival, and he took it as the 9♣ river gave him a pair of nines.
