Saab Straightened Out by Former Student

A short-stacked Ewan Morgan moved all-in for his last 26,700 and was looked up by his (former) poker coach David Saab, who made the call from middle position holding {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Morgan produced the {k-Spades}{6-Clubs} and would need a little help from the board to stay alive, and that's exactly what he got.

The ensuing community cards filled out {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} giving Morgan a six-high straight, besting Saab's wheel to win the pot.

We counted both players at just under 60,000 in chips after the hand.
