Strudwick's Miracle on 4th and 5th Street
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Henry Strudwick was all in and facing the big blind, whom he covered.
Big Blind: Q♥Q♣
Henry Strudwick: A♥10♦
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♣9♥4♠, leaving Strudwick well behind in the hand.
But a 9♠ on the turn, followed by the case 9♦ on river, meant that Strudwick's ace played, and ended his opponent's tournament in the cruellest way possible.
