Making the Most of It

A few hours ago Mads Wissing was all in holding {5-?}{5-?} to an opponent's {9-?}{9-?} on a board reading {5-?}{K-?}{9-?}{8-?}.

With Wissing at risk, he would see the case five fall on the river to see him take the lead with rivered quads.

Now into the second last level of the night, Wissing is the tournament chip leader with roughly 188,000 in chips.

It's a funny thing how just one lucky river can change a players path during the Main Event, and in this case, its obvious that Wissing is making the most of an opportunity that easily could have not been his!
