Wade Hits the River to Survive

PLO

On a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, a short-stacked Nathan Wade led out by moving all in for his last 41,000. Cameron New made the call from the big blind and Wade was in trouble.

New: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}
Wade: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Wade had flopped top pair with top kicker, but it was still behind the pocket kings and flush draw of New. The {2-Hearts} turn brought Wade one step closer to elimination, but the {10-Diamonds} river gave him a straight and the win. New was clearly frustrated by the river as he went to his supporters on the rail for consolation.
