Larson Ahead, Behind, Ahead

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Under the gun, Chun Larson open-shoved for 61,500, and Dwyte Pilgrim made the call for about half his stack in position. The rest of the table folded out of the way, and Larson was in danger as the cards were tabled.

Showdown
Larson: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Pilgrim: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

To nobody's surprise in the room, the flop came {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} {Q-Clubs} to pull Pilgrim into a big lead with two to come. Everyone was surprised, however, when the {K-Hearts} peeled off on fourth street to pull Larson back in front. He needed to fade another queen, and the river {J-Hearts} was scary but safe.

Larson finds his double to stay afloat, moving up to 134,500, while Pilgrim falls back to about 72,000.
