Raymond Wu congratulating Ivan Tan

We heard loud screams coming from Ivan Tan and quickly made our way from the blogging desk to see what all the commotion was about.

Tan had called an opponent's all in holding {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

to be in a race against his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

for nearly all of his stack as well.

The window of the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

saw Tan slip behind, but when the flop was spread to read {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

, he was put firmly back in the lead.

"Pair! Pair! Pair!" Tan kept screaming, and when the turn and river landed the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and

{10-Hearts}

, his wish would be granted as he sent his opponent to the rail while climbing to 105,000 in chips.
