Lady in Red

I think James Mitchell must have had Chris De Burgh on the shuffle when the board was being dealt, as a Lady in Red arrived on the river to save him from a premature demise.

Down to 10-15,000, Mitchell found himself all in from middle position with {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, only to run into the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of Michael Purcell on the button who seemed reluctant to fold.

The {9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop looked relatively safe, but the {10-Clubs} turn created numerous outs, one of which arrived in the {Q-Diamonds} river.

Mitchell back up to 20,000 plus, whilst Purcell drops to 25,000.
