Kristin Budreck is short-stacked and all in preflop from the small blind with [Ac7h], but she’ll need to improve to stay alive against the [QcQd] of Chad Deberry.
The board comes [Ah9s5c8d6d], and Budreck pairs her ace on the flop and rivers a nine-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.
Kristin Budreck – 100,000
Chad Deberry – 255,000
One of the players who folded to the all-in action slammed the table when he saw the six on the river, saying he folded pocket sixes. Budreck says, "Good fold," and a couple people snicker. The player says, "Sure, you’d think that."
Most of the players were so focused on the fact that Budreck paired her ace on the flop that they didn’t realize that she actually won with a straight until another player points it out.
