Doyle Stays Alive on the River

That's poker, folks
That's poker, folks
A short-stacked Doyle Brunson moved all in on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and got a quick call from Dennis Phillips.

Doyle turned over red jacks ({J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}) while Phillips tabled {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for two pair. The {6-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing, but the {6-Spades} on the river did, counterfeiting Phillips' hand and giving Brunson a much-needed double up.
