Evan Snow-Balling the Competition

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

We caught the action on the turn with Evan Snow all-in for his tournament life. The board read {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Snow was called by one opponent.

Showdown:

Snow: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Snow had turned the nut straight and had a redraw to a flush, while his opponent had made two pair, nines and sixes. The opponent had outs to a chop as well, but was looking for sixes or nines on the river to fill up and eliminate Snow. Snow casually said "Ace..." while the dealer burned and turned, hoping to see a safe card show up on the river.

River: {A-Hearts}

Snow's wish had come true and he said "See, it's that easy, just call for it and it comes" while he began stacking his newly earned chips. He now sits with a stack of around 55,000 chips.
