Gagnon Stayin' Alive

Jonathan Gagnon moved all in from the cutoff after being severely short stacked and was called by Byron Kaverman from the big blind. Gagnon held {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} but was crushed by Kaverman's {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Fortunately for Gagnon, the flop brought him fortune, falling {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}. Gagnon retained the lead through the turn and river of {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} respectively. Gagnon is still severely short, but staying alive in this tournament.
