Evans One Card From the Door

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to Kirk Evans, and he shoved all in for his remaining chips.

After he was quickly called by Shawn Puri on the button, the players tabled their hands, which revealed that not only did Puri have a dominating overpair but that their cards shared the same suits.

Shawn Puri: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Kirk Evans: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Luck was on Evans' side, however. The flop came {9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the turn of {10-Hearts} kept Puri in the lead. But the {6-Clubs} river secured Evans a priceless double-up.
