Keokham Rivers Straight to Stay Alive
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
It appeared grim for Phovieng Keokham when he jammed from under the gun and was called by the chip leader Shaun Colquhoun in middle position.
Phovieng Keokham: Q♠J♦
Shaun Colquhoun: Q♥Q♦
Colquhoun had Keokham in rough shape, but a flop of 9♦6♥8♠ gave Keokham some hope with a gutshot to a straight.
The 7♥ turn did not change anything, but Keokham found lightning in a bottle when the 10♦ rolled over on the river, giving him a straight to crack Colquhoun's queens.
