Phachara Wongwichit

Phachara Wongwichit's stack was nearly gobbled up by Chien-Hung Chi until the poker gods intervened.

It was an all-in preflop situation with Wongwichit all-in for 18,600 and Chi making the no-brainer call with the nuts on hand.

Phachara Wongwichit: 9 9

Chien-Hung Chi: A A

Looking very bleak for Wongwichit, when destiny took a sharp turn on the flop as the dealer spread 9 T 4 , vaulting him into the lead with a set.

When the turn 8 and river 3 completed the board, Wongwichit was saved and given renewed life.
