Ostenberg Battles Back From the Brink

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kevin Ostenberg nursed 30,000 chips for so long, it seemed his chip stack might never grow. Then he went all in against Velupillai Kalahmohan and Jennifer Breckenridge.

Kevin Ostenberg: A♥Q♣All in
Velupillai Kalahmohan: K♦K♣All in
Jennifer Breckenridge: J♣J♠

The flop told the story right away, and the full runout A♦5♦6♦2♣9♥ gave him the top pair, aces, and a main pot that gave him more chips than he has had in 10 hours of play. Kalahmohan took the side pot, which was about half Ostenberg's take.
