Can't Beat the Best
With the board reading 
an opponent moved all in for 88,000 against Nam Le. This sent Nam into the tank. With about 90,000 in the pot before the shove, and only about 120,000 in his stack, Nam had a decision that would decide his tournament.
He sat and calculated, and talked himself through the hand. It took him some time, but eventually he made the call.
Nam: 
Opponent: 
Nam picked off his opponents bluff with third pair on a scary board, but he was exactly right. His call boosted him over the 300,000 chip mark and put Nam back in contention.
