Fata Survives Rollercoaster Runout

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Mario Fata
Mario Fata

Philipp Wood shoved form the button and Mario Fata called off his stack of just under a million from the big blind.

Mario Fata: A♦3♥ All in
Philipp Wood: Q♦J♦

Fata was marginally in the lead and stayed there through the 5♦7♦3♣ flop, though Wood did pick up a lot more outs. The 3♦ turn gave Fata trips, but also completed the flush of Wood, which meant Fata was one card from elimination.

However, the A♠ on the river gave Fata a full house, and he managed to survive.
