Kings Hold for Olshan

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Four players saw a flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Spades} and Jimmy Thomson moved all in for 23,000 from the small blind. Dave Olshan, who was the original preflop raiser, reshoved for 31,200, and the player in Seat 4 called all in for less. Olshan was ahead but he had a lot of outs to fade:

Olshan: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Thomson: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Seat 4: {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Travell Thomas heard the commotion and came over from the next table to watch as the {J-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river completed the board, giving Olshan a huge pot.

"How did you hold," Thomas asked him.

"That was a miracle," Olshan replied.
