Haines Quadruples Up
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Chris Haines probably thought his tournament was over after moving all in for his last 1,475,000 from under the gun and being called by the cutoff, button and both blinds. After the flop came 8♦10♦6♦ the small blind checked before the big blind moved their remaining 2,700,000 into the middle, enough to get rid of the remaining players and put Haines officially at risk.
Chris Haines: J♥10♠
Big Blind Player: Q♥8♥
It was the right color, wrong suit for the big blind and Haines managed to stay ahead with his superior pair after the 3♣ turn and 9♣ river completed the board to grant the at risk player a second life.
