Ace on the River Saves Matt Hyman

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Matt Hyman got his stack of 1.065 million all in preflop and was racing against Steffen Sontheimer.

Sontheimer: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Hyman: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a race, but Hyman needed to improve to stay alive. Neither the {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop nor {2-Hearts} turn did it for him, but you know from the title of this post what was coming... the {a-Hearts} on the river!

Hyman doubled into the chip lead while Sontheimer fell to the extreme short stack.
