Tang Looks at One, Doubles with Big Slick
Level 18
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Johannes Straver raised in the small blind and tournament short stack Danny Tang called in the big blind with a stack of about 325,000 after looking at one card.
As action played out at other tables, Tang revealed that he had an ace but didn't know his kicker.
"Alright, what do you have? Flip them up," said Michael Jozoff.
"You're not TD! I can't listen to you!" replied Tang before turning around. "Anyone on the rail here want to root for me?"
"Danny Tang never bubbles, whatever," commented Henrick Hecklen.
Danny Tang: A♠K♠ 
Johannes Straver: 8♠5♠
Incredibly, Tang woke up with a pure premium and held for a double as the rollercoaster board ran out A♣9♣3♥9♥6♥ to bring waves of "oohs" and "ahhs" from the table and spectators.
