White Saved by the River

"rumpthumper"

In Level 31 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, Chris "rumpthumper" White open-jammed for 420,000 in the hijack and received a call from "kgkg510" in the big blind.

Chris "rumpthumper" White: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
"kgkg510": {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

White was at risk for his tournament life and needed to hit to stay alive. The flop {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} gave him two more outs to Broadway, but his number of chances were cut from two to one after the turn {7-Spades} missed. Luckily for him, the river {q-Spades} saved him, improving him to a pair of queens and earning him the double through the chip leader.
