I was getting really frustrated and started getting worried that I would choke and lose the whole thing, but I kept calm and hid my true emotions from him.
Finally I got dealt T7 of diamonds, and right when I looked at it, I "knew" that would somehow be the final hand. I can't explain it, but I just knew. And that's exactly what ended up happening, even though I had to suck out on the turn to win. The hand also saw a fair amount of action, so it's not like he was down to his final bet and I predicted I'd win the hand.
