Huber Plays Donator, then Executioner with Little Slick

Stefan Huber's opponent was all in for 10,200, and Huber looked him up with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} to race against the short stack's {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

The {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop earned a murmur from the table as it paired Huber but gave his opponent a set. Neither held a club redraw, but it didn't matter as the turn and river brought running nines to give Huber's opponent a full house. After the courtesy double, Huber is still sitting pretty with 130,000. He's two to the left of another big stack, Shannon Shorr, and poor Adam Johnson with 12,000 is stuck in the middle.

Update: While we were typing this, Johnson, a former tournament reporter, got his stack in with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Once again, Huber called with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. This time, little slick worked for Huber. The board fell {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and Huber paired to send Johnson to the rail and move his own stack back over 140,000.
