Stroke of Luck as Ace-King Tops Kings for Big Pot

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The player under the gun opened for 3,000 and a player in early position called. Sean Stroke raised to 9,500 and the big blind moved all-in.

After the first two players left the hand, Stroke called for 47,700 more and was way behind.

Sean Stroke: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Big Blind: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Although Stroke had work to do, he had his opponent drawing nearly dead on the {8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop.

The board completed with a {q-Clubs} and a {3-Hearts} to give Stroke the 122,000-chip pot and keep him alive in the tournament.

His opponent was left with roughly 60,000 behind.
