McCrink on the Brink

Jim McCrink moved all in from the cutoff for 350,000 only to have Ilari Sahamies three-bet all in on the button. The isolation worked as both blinds folded, and the Fin had McCrink dominated.

Showdown

McCrink{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Sahamies{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop wasn't anything special, though it did make a chop possible if running hearts fell. The {K-Diamonds} turn took away that possibility and left McCrink in need of an eight on the river to stay alive. With his wife watching from the rail, the dealer burned and put out the {8-Hearts}!

McCrink hit his two outter to stay alive and double to 873,000.
