Emery Rockets into Chip Lead with Double KO

On a three-way flop of Q♠9♥7♠, Keith Murrell moved all in followed by a call from Grant Hinkle, but then Shaun Emery moved all in over the top to cover. Hinkle wasted no time making the call and the cards were tabled.

Keith Murrell: Q♥J♥
Grant Hinkle: Q♣7♣
Shaun Emery: J♠10♠

Hinkle was in the lead with his two-pair, but Emery had a massive straight/flush combo draw. The turn 5♣ didn't change anything but the 8♥ on the river had Emery leaping into the air as he hit the nut straight in the massive pot.

After a chip count, Murrell and Hinkle were both eliminated while Emery raked in the pot to rocket him into the chip lead with 1,370,000.
