A Roller-Coaster Hand Sends One Out the Door

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jake Balsiger opened for 32,000 only to have Marco Ng three-bet to 87,000. Action folded back to Balsiger, he announced that he was all in, and Ng took a deep breath before calling off.

Balsiger: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Ng: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Ng got it in good, but a wave of disappointment crossed his face when Balsiger paired his ace and took the lead on the {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. The dealer then burned and turned the {J-Spades} to give Ng back the lead with a set. The other players at the table reacted sharply, but Ng didn't miss a beat and pointed out his opponent's flush draw.

Sure enough, the {3-Spades} peeled off on the river to complete the flush draw and the table, minus Ng, were in disbelief. Balsiger was pushed the pot while a crestfallen Ng made his way to the payout desk in 27th place.
