Almost For Affleck

[user66118]

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

"Well, I almost pulled the miracle comeback," Matt Affleck said, stopping by our desk on the way out the door.

Affleck was under 10,000 for the first part of this day, but he managed to work a couple double ups to nurse his stack back to 80,000 or so. And a moment ago, he had a coin flip for double that amount. He got it all in with pocket queens, racing for a huge pot against Main Event champion Matthew Waxman and his ace-king.

Waxman could not find one of his six overcards to pair up, but the board ran out {J-} {3-} {4-} {5-} {2-} to give him the backdoor wheel and the knockout. Mark him down for about 160,000 now as he nearly doubles up courtesy of that flip.
