Doyle Stays Alive on the River

That's poker, folks

A short-stacked Doyle Brunson moved all in on a flop of {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{k-Clubs}

and got a quick call from Dennis Phillips.

Doyle turned over red jacks ( {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

) while Phillips tabled {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

for two pair. The {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

on the turn changed nothing, but the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

on the river did, counterfeiting Phillips' hand and giving Brunson a much-needed double up.
