The Man Who Speaks to Cards

Willie Tann might just be in line for a second consecutive final table after doubling through Yasuhiro Waki. Waki raised to 7,000 from the cut-off and was only called by Tann the next seat along. The flop came {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} before all the chips went flying into the middle. Tann was the player at risk in this monster sized showdown:

Waki: {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Spades}
Tann: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped the nut straight but Tann has some full-house outs too. Knowing this Tann said "A ten would be nice" just as the turn fell {10-Diamonds}. The river came {5-Diamonds} and the 197,000 pot went the popular Brits way. Waki down to 35,000.
