Sick Runout for Harris

Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A few players folded and action was on Melinda Harris who took a moment before moving all in for 65,000 and her tournament life. The action moved to a player in the cutoff who put in a flat call and the remaining players folded.
The cards hit their backs.
Melinda Harris: A?9?
Cutoff: 7?7?
It was a standard flip until the dealer peeled off the 8?7?J? flop and bottom set jumped into the lead. The K? turn brought Harris a lot more outs in the form of a combo draw. Right on time the Q? landed on the river giving Harris the nuts and a new lease on life in the tournament.
This double was exactly what she needed as they are just four players away from the money bubble.
