Blight's Snowmen Hold On
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
On a flop of 3♣2♦4♠ with around 500,000 chips in the middle, Craig Blight had his stack of 675,000 over the line and Wai Au had flicked in the call.
Craig Blight: 8♦8♥ 
Wai Au: 5♣5♦
Blight was ahead with his Snowmen but wouldn't have felt too comfortable seeing the hand of Au, who had an open-ended straight draw. Nonetheless, his hand held up as the 9♥Q♦ runout offered no help to Au, which doubled up Blight.
