Woody Deck in Event #12

On a board of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

, Woody Deck was heads up with an opponent who moved all in. Deck had the player covered and thought for a bit. He eventually made the call and his opponent flipped up {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

. Deck tabled {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

.

Deck's opponent slapped the table and said "thank god" in relief. The dealer then pushed out the four diamonds and said "flush" as he pushed the pot to Deck. The confused player finally realized his hand was second best and vacated the tournament area, disappointed and embarrassed at the same time.

Deck now commands a stack just shy of 40,000.
