[user38449]

David Gorr has just doubled up to 875,000 in chips, courtesy of a miracle river card. Minh Nguyen opened the pot with a raise to 42,000 and was reraised by Gorr in the big blind who made it 120,000 to go. Nguyen countered with an all-in reraise and Gorr made the call (429,000):

Showdown:
Gorr: {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

Nguyen:

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

Nguyen held the lead in the hand through the turn as the board filled out {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

, but the

{10-Hearts}

popped off on the river, giving Gorr a set for the win.

Nguyen was left with just 193,000 in chips after the hand.
