Huber Hits an Ace from Space

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Stefan Huber in the hijack who shoved all in for his last 795,000. Paulino Uemura just called in the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

Stefan Huber: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Paulino Uemura: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip that Huber needed to win to stay alive. The flop came {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Uemura was still in the lead with his pocket tens. The {2-Spades} on the turn was no help to Huber but the {a-Diamonds} on the river was just what he was looking for. Huber paired his ace and doubled through Uemura in the last level of the night.
