A Sukk-y River Card

Ian Burchell brings things in with a raise to 6,000. Action passes to Billy Sukkar, and he moves all in for just over 22,000. Burchell calls.

Showdown:
Burchell: {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Sukkar: {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}

Sukkar is at risk of elimination, racing for his tournament life. The flop is a very tidy {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds}. Fourth street is no threat either, as the {Q-Clubs} leaves Sukkar one card from a double-up. It isn't to be though; the river brings the {9-Diamonds}, giving Burchell the winning nines up. He has chipped his way up to 135,000, leaving Sukkar on the outside looking in now.
