Kath Goes Runner-Runner to Stay Alive

Brandon Bloom
Brandon Bloom
Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dick Kath got his 91,000 chips in from the big blind and was at risk against James Boettcher in early position.

Dick Kath: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
James Boettcher: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} improved Boettcher to top set and left Kath in rough shape and needing running cards to stay alive. The {j-Hearts} turn provided a glimmer of hope, and the {q-Spades} spiked the river to keep Kath's tournament life alive near the end of the day following the unlikely runout.
