Miao Finds an Ace to Double
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Stephen Barnes raised to 160,000 on the button, Zhicheng Miao moved all in for 645,000 in the big blind, and Barnes called.
Zhicheng Miao: A?9? 
Stephen Barnes: 10?10?
Miao was looking for an ace to avoid elimination as the flop came K?J?4?, keeping Barnes' tens in the lead. The turn, though, was the A? to give Miao top pair. The K? completed the board on the river and Miao doubled up.
