Never Say Die

Cesar Flores was getting short. He put his meager stack in the middle holding {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and was called by Pia Jeppesen's {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

"Time to pull a Jesus," Flores joked, referring to the remarkable turnaround in Chris Ferguson's fortunes. Wouldn't you know, Flores flopped a straight when the board came {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

With a stack of only 75,000, he's not out of the woods yet.
