Wilson Staying Alive
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nourddine Chiha opened the hijack and then called the button shove of Simon Wilson, who had 18,300 in his stack.
Simon Wilson: K♦Q♠ 
Nourddine Chiha: K♠10♥
Wilson was in a dominating position, and almost had it locked up after the 3♦K♥Q♥ flop gave him top two pair. Running cards were needed for Chiha to earn the knockout, but the Q♦ turn instead gave Wilson a full house.
A king on the river would have chopped it, but that wasn't to be as the 6♠ peeled off, earning Wilson a late double.
