Hayden Flops Lucky to Stay In

James "Flushy" Dempsey raised to 16,000 to open the pot, and Melissa Hayden three-bet to 60,000. Dempsey reraised it right back, and Hayden called all in for about 105,000 total, and she would not like what she saw at showdown:

Dempsey: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Hayden: {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Ah, but things would get better for Ms. Hayden. The flop came down {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, giving her the lucky set of fours and putting her two cards away from a double up. The {J-Diamonds} on fourth street and {5-Hearts} on fifth sealed the deal, doubling Hayden up to 215,000. Flushy is still just fine, but he's taken a big hit back to about 330,000.
