Follain Finds One

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Tom Follain got the last of his stack in with just {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and when his opponent turned over {A-}{A-} after making the call, all Follain could do was laugh.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and suddenly Follain found a lifeline. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn provided even more outs, and now he was looking to spike a jack, ten, seven, or six to stave off elimination.

River: {7-Hearts}

With that, Follain had made the long climb back from underdog status to take the pot, giving himself a second chance at earning a WSOP cash here in Event # 14, the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
