Covert Stays Alive

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Short-stacked Ron Covert got his stack of 27,500 into the middle preflop against WSOP bracelet winner Grant Hinkle.

Ron Covert: A10
Grant Hinkle: AQ

"Come on hearts, whole lotta hearts!" Covert shouted into the universe.

Someone seemed to have heard him as the flop came out 474 to give him the flush draw he was seeking. The turn came the 3 which meant Hinkle was still in the lead, but the 10 on the river gave Covert the win with a pair of tens to take the pot for a double up.

Covert then moved all in under-the-gun the very next hand which resulted in folds all around to award him the blinds.
