Leidholm Cracks Queens to Stay Alive
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Marlin Leidholm was short-stacked and all in preflop in the hijack against Zach Byers in the small blind.
Marlin Leidholm: Q♣10♣ 
Zach Byers: Q♦Q♥
Byers was a big favorite to scoop the pot until the dealer put out a monotone flop of 9♣7♣5♣, improving Leidholm to a flush. The J♣ landed on the turn to seal up the victory for Leidholm and the meaningless 9♠ fell on the river.
