The exuberant Tom McCormick could be heard across the Paris ballroom with his tournament life at stake on a turn board of {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

His opponent held {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for broadway with a full house redraw, while McCormick had {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

McCormick chanted loudly for a spade, then screamed "SPAAAAAAAADE" as the {4-Spades} came on the river, fulfilling his request and keeping him alive in the tournament.
