Short on chips, Leon Tsoukernik put his last 2,625 in the hand after he moved in and got no callers. A player in the small blind called with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was leading Tsoukernik's {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Things looked grim for the King's Casino owner after an {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, but the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} runout gave him a winning straight.
