Jenco Hits Straight to Stay Alive

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jack Jenco was down to his last 44,000 chips in middle position, leaving him with less than ten big blinds.

He moved all in, and was quickly called by a player on the button. The two blinds folded, leading to Jenco and his opponent to table their hands.

Jenco: K?10?
Opponent: Q?Q?

Jenco was behind, but the flop of 9?J?3? gave him additional outs with a gut-shot straight draw if his opponent hit a set.

That exact scenario happened on the turn, when Q? hit the board and Jenco took the lead with a straight. With his opponent now holding a set, Jenco now had to dodge the board pairing, He survived when 6? appeared on the river.
