Held Turns Trips

We caught up to see a short stacked player all in and at risk holding {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The player was called by Austin Held's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

Held fell behind when both players flopped a pair on the {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop, but found a miracle when he picked up a third queen in the form of the {Q-Spades} on the turn. The {3-Hearts} completed the board and Held was pushed the pot while his opponent took his walk out of the doors.

Held is now sporting a stack of about 122,000 in chips.
