Aces For Asfour; Almost Cracked, Rivers the Nuts

On a board of {4-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}, Elias Asfour moved all-in for about 40,000 (13 bbs) and was called by an opponent with slightly less.

Asfour: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Asfour was way out front needing to fade just a few cards. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn, however gave his opponent a straight, leaving Asfour drawing to just a spade on the river. Fortunately, the dealer laid out the {2-Spades} and Asfour made the nuts to take the pot and bust his opponent.
