Whyte Comes From Behind Against the Chip Leader
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Francisco Salvador had a raise of 12,000 in front of him in the cutoff before Jamie Whyte moved all in for 105,000 on the button. The table folded back around to Salvador who snap-called.
Jamie Whyte: 5♥5♦ 
Francisco Salvador: Q♦Q♥
Whyte had run into Salvador's queens and found no help on the J♦4♦4♥ flop, but he spiked the 5♠ on the turn to make a full house. The river was the 10♥ and Whyte found a fortunate double up against the start-of-day chip leader.
"You'll say you played that brilliantly, wouldn't you," tablemate John Clements joked with Whyte after the hand.
