Habib Gets Lucky

[user140525]

Hasan Habib moved all in for his last 9,700 from the small blind, and big blind Matt Glantz looked him up. Oops. Habib showed {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

to Matt's slightly more respectable {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

. The

{7-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

flop gave Habib a gutshot straight draw to go with his two live cards. The {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

on the turn was no help, and he was one card from elimination. But the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

on the river filled Habib's straight and kept him alive for another hand.
