Throndson Survives All-in

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was discovered with Larry Throndson having moved all-in on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. His opponent tanked for a few before he opted to call.

The hands were turned face-up and it was the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} held by Throndson that led the {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} held by his opponent.

"Wrong read," muttered his opponent.

The dealer placed the turn card {9-Hearts} and Throndson remained in the lead.

The river card {q-Spades} secured the double-up for Throndson, and he chipped up to 36,000.
