Larson Stays Alive

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Larson, who folded his way down to 20,000 at one point within the last two hours has found a way to stay alive time and again. Just recently, he called off his remaining 315,000 in the big blind after action folded to Benjamin Craig in the small blind and Craig put him all in.

David Larson: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Benjamin Craig: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The flop {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs} looked like it may be the end for Larson. The turn {7-Hearts} gave him chop outs, but he wouldn't need them as the river {8-Hearts} came to give him the best hand and score him the double.
