Hicks Stays Alive....Just
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
David Metzger made a preflop raise from the hijack, and Eric Hicks made the call on the button, putting himself all in as he had only two big blinds left in his stack. The blinds got out of the way, and the cards were placed on their backs.
Eric Hicks: J♣J♦ 
David Metzger: Q♥Q♠
Hicks couldn't believe his luck as he had ran right into it at the point of elimination, but the flop 8♦5♥J♠ brought him hopes of staying alive in the tournament. The A♦7♥ runout secured him a more than triple up, as he picked up the blinds and ante, but with less than ten big blinds he will need to keep on spinning up to make a deeper run in this event.
