Ku Catches Lucky, Cracks Big Slick

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

After seeing a flop of {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Min Ku got it all-in against a shorter stack and showed his {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Ku was dominated by the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} of his opponent and needed to catch a three-outer to take the pot.

The dealer peeled the {6-Diamonds} on the turn and one of those three outs had arrived. The player holding big slick was furious, screaming "disgusting!" as he paced around the table in agony. When the {3-Spades} fell on the river, Ku's come from behind victory was completed. His stunned opponent appeared to be frozen in place, staring down at the final board he would see in this event as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
