Crews Cracks Howard's Kings for Double

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jason Crews
Jason Crews

The cutoff player opened for 2,700 and was called by Jason Crews from the small blind before Taylor Howard three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind.

The initial raiser folded while Crews called and the dealer dropped a {8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Spades} flop on the felt. Crews check-jammed for 35,100 after Howard continued for 15,000 and was snap-called.

Jason Crews: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Taylor Howard: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Both players held made hands with Crews way behind but the {9-Spades} turn did make things interesting as it gave him a gutshot straight draw.

Crews needed a jack or ten to stay alive and fortunately for him, the dealer heard his prayer, peeling off the {j-Diamonds} on the river.
