More Blind vs Blind Action

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Preflop action folded around to the player in the small blind and he shoved all in. Howard Roark, nursing a shorter stack, called from his big blind and was all in and at risk.

Howard Roark: {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Small-Blind Player: {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Roark was ahead preflop, but that all changed after the dealer spread a flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The {j-Hearts} turn was no help to Roark, but the {a-Clubs} river was just a card he was looking for to keep him alive in the tournament.
