Wade into Dangerous Waters

[user66118]

Under the gun, Tristan Wade came in with a raise to 800, and he found a call from a player a few seats over. On the button, though, a third player squeezed all in for 11,800, and Wade double-checked his cards before re-shoving. That got him heads-up, and Wade was in a dominating spot for the knockout.

Showdown
Wade: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The {9-Spades} {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop opened up a gutshot draw for the at-risk player, but the {A-Spades} on the turn was a blank. The river {Q-Diamonds} was not blank at all, though. The come-from-behind pair of queens robs Wade of most of his stack, and he's got 7,550 left with which to try and double-up-or-bust.
