Sick Runout for Harris
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A few players folded and action was on Melinda Harris who took a moment before moving all in for 65,000 and her tournament life. The action moved to a player in the cutoff who put in a flat call and the remaining players folded.
The cards hit their backs.
Melinda Harris: A♣9♣
Cutoff: 7♠7♥
It was a standard flip until the dealer peeled off the 8♣7♦J♥ flop and bottom set jumped into the lead. The K♣ turn brought Harris a lot more outs in the form of a combo draw. Right on time the Q♣ landed on the river giving Harris the nuts and a new lease on life in the tournament.
This double was exactly what she needed as they are just four players away from the money bubble.
