Rushford Survives on the River
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2♠3♦A♣, Nancy Rushford moved all in for 21,000 from early position and Aaron Hyndman put her at risk in the hijack.
Nancy Rushford: A♦J♣
Aaron Hyndman: A♠Q♥
Both players had flopped top pair, but Hyndman was ahead with his queen-kicker and poised for the knockout. The turn was the 7♣, but Rushford spiked the J♥ on the river to make two pair and double up.
