Thurston Finds a 9 to Stay Alive

Alek Gillies

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Facing early position, Dave Thurston went all in for 60,300 looking for a quick double up or blind steal. After a couple of folds, a late position player quickly went over the top all in. With all other players getting out of the way, Thurston flipped over K♣9♣ as his opponent revealed A♣K♠. Thurston would need a 9, or flush in order tostay within the tournament.

A low flop of 5♦3♠7♣ left Thurson needing a 9 or running clubs. However, he would not have to wait long as the turn came a 9♠ followed by the Q♥. With this double up, Thurston amassed a stack of 130,600.
