Runner-Runner Straight Staves Off Bubble Bursting
Level 17
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded to John Morgan who jammed for just over 100,000 from late position. Yang Lu made the call to set up a runout with Morgan at risk.
John Morgan: A?Q?
Yang Lu: A?A?
The flop came 4?6?10?, leaving Morgan with only runner-runner outs to the win. The K? came in on the turn and brought with it half of the needed running outs for Morgan to double and keep bubble play in action.
When the J? completed the board and Morgan's straight, the room let out a collective gasp as the sick runout keeps everyone in bubble play and still out of the money.
