Unlucky River Cracks Ohel's Blades
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
With the action caught on the 
flop, Michael Noori (big blind) was in a heads-up battle against Randy Ohel (cutoff). Ohel had placed a 2,500-bet in front of him and Noori check-raised to 6,500.
Ohel announced he was all in, covering Noori's 19,000 total. Noori instantly called.
Randy Ohel: 
Michael Noori: 
Ohel had the blades but he needed to fade an ace or a runner-runner wheel to lock it up. The 
turn indeed gave Noori some extra outs and while the river wasn't a five, the 
saved Noori in the tournament. Ohel sighed in frustration as his stack took a massive hit.
