Covert Stays Alive
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Short-stacked Ron Covert got his stack of 27,500 into the middle preflop against WSOP bracelet winner Grant Hinkle.
Ron Covert: A♥10♥
Grant Hinkle: A♠Q♥
"Come on hearts, whole lotta hearts!" Covert shouted into the universe.
Someone seemed to have heard him as the flop came out 4♥7♥4♠ to give him the flush draw he was seeking. The turn came the 3♦ which meant Hinkle was still in the lead, but the 10♠ on the river gave Covert the win with a pair of tens to take the pot for a double up.
Covert then moved all in under-the-gun the very next hand which resulted in folds all around to award him the blinds.
