The 2004 Champ Gets Lucky to Stay Alive

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Tony Bloom, who won this event back in 2004, shoved his last 28,700 all in from middle position and received a call from Alexander Lynskey in the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and Bloom discovered the bad news.

Bloom: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Lynskey: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Lynskey had Bloom dominated, but the {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop proved kind to the former champ by pairing his kicked. Neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor {7-Diamonds} river helped Lynskey, and he sent some chips over to Bloom.

It looks like the previous hand where Bloom tried to move all in but didn't do it properly may be a blessing in disguise.
