Chang Catches The River To Double

Brandon Cantu raised it to 11,000 from under the gun, and the next player to act called. It folded around to Matthew Chang, who moved all in for 43,500 total. The blinds quickly folded, as did Cantu, but the original caller stuck the chips in the for the call. The cards were flipped, and it was a race.

Chang: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The flop was a tough one for Chang, coming {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}. This gave his opponent a set, but Chang could still catch a queen to survive. He missed the turn, the {5-Clubs}, but the dealer slammed down the {q-Spades} on the river, giving Chang broadway for the unlikely double up.
