Black Stays In It
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jason Coleman opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 6,000, and when it folded to the big blind Timothy Black, he three-bet all in for his stack of 35,500. Coleman confirmed the count, before making the call to put Black at risk.
Timothy Black: A♦K♥ 
Jason Coleman: J♠J♥
It was a flip for Black's tournament life, but he would need to improve past the pocket jacks of Coleman. The 5♦10♦K♣ flop gave Black extra outs with a Broadway draw and picked up a flush draw to go with it after the 2♦ on the river. However, the K♠ on the river worked as well, as he improved to a pair of kings to take the pot and double up.
