Pai Finds Ace on the River

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

After some previous action preflop, Lejohn Pai was on the button and was all in for around 60,000 chips, a player in the hijack called. The player in the cutoff, who already had committed 21,000 chips to the pot, folded and showed he laid down {a-}{q-}. With that, hands were revealed.

Lejohn Pai: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Hijack: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Pai was flipping for his tournament life and found no help on the {9-}{5-}{6-} flop. The {2-} turn changed nothing, but the {a-} appeared on the river to save Pai.
