Tim Balaban Escapes To Double Through

A short-stacked Tim Balaban with {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} moved in for his final 13,000 chips from the button preflop and got a snap call from the player in the small blind with {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Luckily for Balaban the {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop was good to him. The board ran out {Q-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river to move Balaban over 30,000.
