Batista Hits Runner Runner To Stay Alive

Chad Batista limps from under the gun and Ken Adams raises from late position.  Action folds around to Batista who makes a large reraise, leaving himself with only a few thousand chips.  Adams moves all in and Batista is forced to call with a very modest [QcJc].  Adams has him dominated with [AsQs].

The board comes [10c5h2dKs9h] giving Batista a straight. He stays alive and doubles up while Adams, the day one chip leader, falls below the chip average.

Chad Batista – 70,000
Ken Adams – 70,000
