Chenxiang Miao: 10♥10♦
Peter Mugar: Q♠Q♣
Miao was in a world of hurt as Mugar had his hand dominated.
The flop was of no help to Miao as it came 4♥4♦6♦ to keep Mugar well ahead.
Miao would find the miracle he needed on the turn when the 10♠ peeled that elicited a reaction from the crowd on the rail.
The 4♠ river completed the board as Miao dodged disaster and stayed in contention at the final table.
