A Banner Day

When you're running good, you're running good. Steve Banner called a 35,000-chip all-in raise from a player in early position. It was a coin flip situation, with Banner's {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} against the all-in player's {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. The board flopped and turned monsters for the all-in player, {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades}. But the river was the dreaded two-outer, the {9-Diamonds}. It gave Banner another pot as we approach the next break.
