Federspiel on a Nub

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Cards were on their backs between Steve Federspiel in the hijack and a player in the cutoff on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Federspiel had {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} turned over but was in big trouble against {k-}{k-}. The {8-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river didn't bring in Federspiel's straight draw and the former MSPT champ set off to reenter.

However, he did have his opponent's 12K or so covered, so he'll have to first try to run up those last few blinds.
