Straight on the Board Wins it for Choong

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Short-stacked Yita Choong moved all in preflop for 140,000 and then Juan Carlos Vecino min-clicked it to 255,000, which resulted in folds around the table to give him the isolation.
Yita Choong: K?10?
Juan Carlos Vecino: A?K?
Choong would need a lot of help to come out alive in this one, but he sure got it as the runout of 5?8?6?9?7? gave both players a straight, but Choong's ten gave him the superior one to take the pot for a double.
