Joshua Abiscott: 8♦8♣ 
John Wasnock: A♠Q♥
Abiscott was flipping for his tournament life and needed his Snowmen to hold to stay alive. A flop of 5♠3♥4♣ was clean, but Wasnock did add a gutshot straight draw. However, the K♣10♠ runout was safe, and Abiscott avoided the nightmare of being eliminated in the first hand of the day.
