Crain Halts Slide with Lucky Flop

Eric Crain has been getting run over lately and it appeared his end was in sight when he got his last 231,500 all in preflop with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and ran into the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} of his unknown opponent. In actuality, the other player was at risk, although both players held nearly identical stacks.

It looked bleak for Crain, but not when the flop came down {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The table erupted in disbelief, but they were quickly silenced when the {4-Clubs} turn delivered the player with kings a flush draw. Lucky for Crain, the {9-Spades} blanked on the river and he sent his opponent to the rail. Crain is back up to 500,000.
