Tian Finds an Ace
Level 16
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
"Dafishh" in the small blind and Hao Tian in the big blind got the chips in preflop, with the latter at risk for his stack of 555,000.
Hao Tian: A♦5♦ 
"Dafishh": 7♥7♦
Tian was the favorite to hit the rail, but paired his ace on the 10♣A♣6♣ flop to take a big lead. A J♦ on the turn removed any possibility of a chop, which meant "Dafishh" had one shot at finding a seven.
No seven arrived on the 2♣ river, and Tian was pushed the pot, while "Dafishh" was left with around 160,000 in his stack.
