Oh Canada... Eh?

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A big mistake just worked out magically for Canadian Avraham Oziel but crippled a countryman in the process.

We arrived at the table to see Oziel's stack cut out in front of him and the all-in triangle accompanying it. The decision was on Ping San Chan, looking down at a {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} board.

Chan would end up making the call only to look horrified at Oziel's holding. The two tabled their hands with Oziel adding "I made a big mistake, but got lucky."

Oziel: {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Chan: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Chan was in deep trouble, needing one of the two remaining aces to bust Oziel. The river blanked out and Chan was forced to pay off Oziel, leaving himself with just 25,000.

In typical Canadian fashion though, Oziel apologized many times admitting he was tired and thought for sure he had ace-ten, his favorite hand.

Chan busted the very next hand, having to pay the big blind, and unable to find a miracle.
