Nice Run Out for Ormson

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Larry Ormson moved all in for his last 57,000 only to have Paul Vivacqua three-bet all in over the top from the hijack. The rest of the players folded and Ormson discovered the bad news.

Ormson: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Vivacqua: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Ormson was pipped, and he stood in preparation to make his exit. The {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop gave Ormson an open-ended straight draw, but he must not have seen it. We say that because after the {7-Spades} turn, the {4-Diamonds} appeared on the river to give Ormson the said straight. He began to take off his glasses, put them in his pocket, and removed his headphones. A solid 30 seconds passed before Ormson realized he won, and he lit up like a Christmas tree with new life.
