Miao Finds an Ace to Double
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Stephen Barnes raised to 160,000 on the button, Zhicheng Miao moved all in for 645,000 in the big blind, and Barnes called.
Zhicheng Miao: A♠9♦ 
Stephen Barnes: 10♥10♦
Miao was looking for an ace to avoid elimination as the flop came K♦J♦4♥, keeping Barnes' tens in the lead. The turn, though, was the A♦ to give Miao top pair. The K♠ completed the board on the river and Miao doubled up.
