Harland Rivers a Straight to Survive
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Michael Harland got his last 25,000 into the middle from the hijack with Austin Putnam-Johnson making the call to try and bust him from the button.
Michael Harland : J?7? 
Austin Putnam-Johnson : A?K?
Harland would need a lot of help if he was to stay in contention for making Day 2. The board of 5?8?4?Q?6? was favorable for Harland as he rivered a straight to beat the Big Slick of Putnam-Johnson.
