Saved By a Poker Goddess

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a board of {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, two players are heads up and battling for a pot of over 65,000.

The player with first action bet 12,000, but then Shankar Pillai quickly raised all in and was snap- called by his opponent.

Pillai tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} but was quickly shown the bad news by {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

But then a miracle {q-Clubs} came down from the heavens and granted him salvation, much to the disgust of his opponent, who was eliminated.
