Courtney Hits Straight, Doubles

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

When we reached Table 67 the board read {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Phillip Cunningham bet 12,000. John Courtney moved all in for just over 14,000, a third player folded and Cunningham made the call.

Cunningham: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Courtney: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}

Cunningham had Courtney crushed with a pair of jacks and better flush draw, but the {5-Clubs} spiked on the river giving Courtney a winning straight.

Courtney nearly jumped out of his seat when the card hit the felt, but soon collected himself and stacked his newfound chips.
