Diamond Saves Wai
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nicholas Wai went through a roller coaster of emotions in a hand near the end of the night when he got all in and was at risk against Jordan Lewis.
Nicholas Wai: A♣A♦
Jordan Lewis: Q♦10♦
Wai got it in good against Lewis, but the hand became a much closer race after the Q♠4♦7♦ flop gave Lewis top pair and a flush draw. Lewis improved to a flush on the K♦ river, edging one step closer to cracking aces right before players bagged for the night.
However, fortunately for Wai, the 9♦ peeled off on the river to bring the aces back in front with a flush to double.
