Ben Trehey was all in for around 70,000 against a player who had him covered.
Ben Trehey: Q♦Q♠ 
Opponent: Q♣10♣
Trehey was in great shape but the board of 3♦3♥J♣A♣ gave him a scare as his opponent picked up multiple draws. Trehey began getting from his seat before the dealer put down the safe 9♥ river to keep him alive.
Trehey sat back and casually sipped his beer as the dealer counted out his stack.
