Evans' Miracle Ace

Joshua Evans

On a board of {J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Joshua Evans led out for 137,000. Bret Hruby decided to raise the action, making it 274,000 to go. Evans announced a three-bet and Hruby instantly announced that he was all in. Evans snap called only to learn he was behind.

Evans: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Hruby: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Hruby's set of nines was far out in the lead, but didn't stay there for long, as Evans was able to catch the {A-Clubs} on the turn, giving him a higher set. The river came {Q-Hearts} and cries of "Are you serious?" could be heard from the rail.

A disappointed Hrbuy shipped a majority of his stack over to Evans, who is now our commanding chip leader.
