Pat Van Dijk Eliminates Daniel Asis

[user37786]

They give you two cards in hold'em and sometimes the one you think is the lesser of the two saves the day. Pat Van Dijk held {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

to Daniel Asis' {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

and was no doubt looking for an ace to save the day. He didn't catch one on the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

flop, nor when the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

turned, but when the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

hit on the river the ten in Van Dijk's hand gave him a straight and the hand. "Yes!' he shouted, as Asis slumped back in his seat, hands cradling his head.
