Steury KO's Opponent

Aaron Steury
Aaron Steury

Aaron Steury, a 2011 WSOP bracelet winner who finished second in this event last year, was faced with an 18,000-chip, all-in bet moments ago. He tanked for the better of two minutes, then re-shoved, having a third player in the hand well covered.

The third player folded, and the hands were opened:

Steury: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop gave Steury a leading pair of queens, but his opponent could make Broadway with any {10-}, or a better pair with any {k-}. The turn and river bricked {6-Clubs}, {4-Spades} respectively however, and Steury took down the pot.

"I wish I folded," Steury admitted after the hand.

The fortunate knockout has Steury up to around 75,000 chips.
