Ian Brion was halfway out the door before the river came.
All-in with his final 11,000 with just A♥ 7♥, Brion faced an opponent’s pocket sixes in a preflop battle.
Flop K♦ 4♣ 8♦ provided no sort of help and the turn 10♦ gave no glimmer of hope.
And then, the poker gods decided to give Brion his lease on life by gifting him with a 7♣ on the river.
Brion survives and rises to roughly 22,000 in chips.
