"Choctaw" Wins a Race to Stay Alive
Action folded around to an unknown player on the button and he put in a raise. Hometown favorite Justin "Choctaw" Kruger then moved all in from the small blind for 31,100, and after the big blind folded, the original raiser made the call.

Opponent: 
It was a flip, and the PokerNews Odds Calculator tells us that Kruger was actually favored slightly with a 50.30% chance of winning the hand. The 
flop hit Kruger and saw his chances of survival jump up to 91.21%, and the 
turn bumped it up even more to 95.45%.
Kruger just needed to dodge a seven on the river to keep his tournament hopes alive, and that's exactly what he did as the 
peeled off the deck.
