Kallum Bascombe open raised from late position and George Sandford moved all in from the next seat across for around 25 big blinds. Bascombe made the call with the bigger stack and players turned their cards.
George Sandford: 6♥6♦
Kallum Bascombe: Q♣Q♦
The board ran out 7♣5♦Q♥3♣4♠. It was a sick runout. Bascombe made a set of queens on the flop, leaving Sandford drawing very thin. Sandford picked up a backdoor straight draw on the turn and completed his straight on the river.
He let out a cheer as the four fell on the river, scooping a double up and leaving Bascombe short.
