Graner's Runner Runner Trips Keeps Him Alive

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Johnny Chen opened to 80,000 in early position and got an all in shove from Stephen Graner for 550,000 in middle position. Chen snap-called.

Stephen Graner: K♥10♣ All in
Johnny Chen: A♣J♣

Chen was the favorite on the flop 5♦9♣Q♣ with ace-high and a flush draw. Things changed when Graner spiked a pair on the 10♦ turn. Chen still had outs to turn the tables around.

The river 10♠ gave Graner trips which secured him a double up leaving Chen with less than ten big blinds.
