Liptak Survives Against Stroman

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Neal Liptak moved all in for 81,000 from the hijack and Michael Stroman called in the big blind.

Neal Liptak: A♦Q♥ All in
Michael Stroman: A♠J♦

Both players picked up a straight draw on the 10♠8♠K♦ flop, while the board ran out 7♣3♠ to keep Liptak in the lead with his queen-kicker to earn the double up.

At the other table, Maclaren Chatman bet 16,000 from early position on a flop of 7♦Q♣Q♥ and John Major called in the big blind. Both players then checked the 2♣ turn.

Major led out for 25,000 on the J♣ river, and Chatham called. Major then showed Q♠2♠ for a full house, and Chatham mucked.
