Hart Survives All In

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three-way action after a {6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop saw two players all-in, one of whom was Gary Hart.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Hart: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
All-in opponent: {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Hart had out-flopped both his opponents with top two pair but had to dodge a lot of cards to win the hand.

The turn brought the {k-Clubs} which improved both of his opponent's hands and Hart had to sweat the river for his tournament life.

Hart dodged a lot of cards on the river as it came the {7-Spades} and gave him a nice triple up.
