Hall Survives on the River

Level 33 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded around to Shai Zurr on the button, and he raised to 350,000 after the small blind had folded Galen Hall moved all in for 1,800,000.

Zurr got the count verified, thought for a minute, and made the call.

Shai Zurr: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Galen Hall: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Board: {8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}

Zurr took the lead on the flop after he paired his eight but Hall also gained the nut flush draw. The turn was no good for Hall, but he survived on the river after the king-of-spades hit to give him top pair.
