"No Ace?" ... Yeah Right

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
James Boyle just needed an ace... and he got it

In a huge hand that went down before the recent break, Andrew Zhu played a huge hand against James Boyle that resulted in a new chip leader emerging.

Zhu held {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} while Boyle rolled over {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, and with more than a million chips up for grabs, not to mention the overwhelming lead and a pay jump, Zhu asked the dealer every poker player's last words at one point or another.

"No ace," he pleaded, just as the {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop was fanned. As is usually the case when cowboys go down, it was a a bullet that did them in. The turn ({6-Clubs}) and river ({10-Spades}) bricked off and Zhu was left to stare at the board in agony while his stacks were cut down and delivered to Boyle.
