Brandstrom Stays Alive
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Alban Juen opened from early position to 1,600 and Agan Maliqi called. When it folded to Simon Brandstrom in middle position, he shoved for 8,000. Juen moved all in himself for 20,000 and Maliqi folded.
Simon Brandstrom: K?Q? 
Alban Juen: Q?J?
The flop of 2?K?10? gave Brandstrom top pair, but also gave Juen a straight draw. However, the runout of 10?8? was safe for Brandstrom and he doubled up.
