Do You Believe in Miracles
Do you believe in miracles?
Richard Ali of Team Ali does and here's why. Joshua Hopkins of Team Hopkins raised to 32,000 from early position, Ali then went all in and was at risk from middle position.
Action folded back around to Hopkins who went into the tank, as Hopkins was thinking Ali started talking to him, "If you double me up I want your hat." He then commented, "I'm the most fun player at the table: just let me win this one." Then Ali changed his mind and said "ok fine just call me." Hopkins then made the call.
Richard Ali: A?A? 
Joshua Hopkins: A?Q?
The dealer fanned a 4?Q?J? flop giving Team Hopkins a chance. The turn was the icey Q?, having Team Ali drawing to one single out on the river.
The table erupted in shock when the dealer placed the miracle A? on the river, keeping Team Ali's chances for a bracelet alive. Ali commented that the river card was sweet justice.
