Miracles Do Exist

[user66118]

Matthew Rousu goes all in for his tournament life from the cutoff with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. The call comes from the small blind player, Benjamin Hamnett, who is miles ahead with {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

.

How quickly things can change.

When the dealer spreads the flop, it shows {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

, giving Rousu the nut straight. Hamnett is left drawing to a chop or runner-runner, and the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

do not get him there. After the hand, Rousu is up to 31,800.
