Yu Saved by a Queen

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sean Yu
Sean Yu

All of the chips got into the middle preflop between Sean Yu in the small blind and Brian Heeb, who was under the gun. Yu was at risk.

Sean Yu: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Brian Heeb: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Yu needed to improve to stay alive and the flop {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} was all he would need as the turn {6-Spades} and river {8-Clubs} completed the runout to score the double.

Despite the lost pot, Heeb has amassed a huge stack and still has over 500,000, making him the likely chip leader nearing the final level of play for the night.
