Leah Wins a Flip to Get Back in It

Level 34 : 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Mike Leah was under the gun and shoved all-in for 87 million with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Action folded to Joel Giguere in the big blind with {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and he called for a coin flip.

Leah needed to catch heat, but the flop reading {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} was of no help. The turn was the magical {a-Diamonds} to give Leah a pair of aces and the lead and lock up the double-up. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and the dealer shipped Leah the pot.
