James Sansone's All-In Moment

On a previous level, James Sansone (Fayetteville, NY) was all-in pre-flop for his bounty life.  Roman Valerstein gave it some thought, then called.

James: K♥Q♥
Roman: 5♠5♦

This was as close to a coin flip as you can get, according to the odds calculator on CardPlayer.com, James was 49.39% to win.

Flop:  T♠9♥8♥  - James picks up flush draw, gutshot, and with two overs, has 18 outs twice.  Now James was the favorite, 64.75%.

Turn:  7♣  - no change.  James was still almost 41% to win.

River:  A♦

James was busted while Roman chipped up to ~45k.
