Straight for Weston
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Marcus Weston shoved for 70,000 from middle position, which led to a call from Perry Burrell from the cutoff.
Marcus Weston: 8♣8♥
Perry Burrell: Q♣Q♦
Weston needed some help to stay in the tournament, and the 7♥6♦5♠ flop increased his equity to give him a fighting chance against Burrell's queens.
The 4♦ turn guaranteed Weston would at least survive the hand, and the 10♥ river awarded him the full double.
