Redemption on the River

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Lammert Westerveen was barely clinging on with a stack around 5,000 when he pushed all in from the cutoff. The button called his all in and the blinds folded leaving Westerveen's {A-Spades}{10-Spades} trailing to the button's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. His chances of staying alive dwindled as the flop and turn brought the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} but the miraculous {10-Hearts} on the river gave him the win and a slightly healthier stack.
