McEachern Flirts With Elimination

After losing more than half of his stack to quads fours, Lon McEachern found himself anxious to double up. He got a chance recently when he was in the big blind and playing against an opponent in middle position on a flop reading {8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

McEachern led in with a bet of 150, with his opponent raising to 500. At this time McEachern went all in for about 1,300 total. His opponent called and things looked bleak for our ESPN broadcaster.

McEachern: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: [9d92]

No sooner had McEachern stood up than the {10-Spades} hit, giving him a straight. He faded a full house for his opponent when the {3-Spades} came on the river.

McEachern now has about 2,600 chips.
