Vuong Spikes the River to Stay Alive

Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

After an open from Rakan Abusaleh, Jonathan Vuong moved all in for around 1,300,000.
"Well, I don't like it, but here we go," Abusaleh said as he made the call to put Vuong at risk.
Jonathan Vuong: A?10?
Rakan Abusaleh: A?Q?
Vuong would need some help to stay alive, but the flop of Q?J?6? gave Abusaleh top pair.
"Oh man, no king, NO KING!" Abusaleh pleaded as Vuong did have a gutshot straight draw, and sure enough, the runout came 7?K? to give him Broadway for the double.
"Nooooo!!" Abusaleh groaned and the table shook their heads.
