Big Stax 500 (Day 3): Daddy Won A Race

Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 775
Players Remaining: 16

"When you blog that hand, make sure you let my son know I won a race," Wayne Kaufmann said after doubling through Frank DiRe.  The chips got in pre for a pot worth just under 2,000,000, with Kaufmann at risk:

Kaufmann: 9♠ 9♣
DiRe: A♠ K

Flop: 10♣ 10 J♣
Turn: 3
River: 5

It was definitely a race, and the flop wasn't as kind as Wayne may have liked.  DiRe gained outs to win the hand, with the flop giving him outs to a straight, and to counterfeit Kaufmann's pair (and his ace and kind were live).  With the turn and river coming no higher than a five, Wayne would double up, sending some love as well to his son Nick.
