Viktor Blom opened to 3,700 from early position, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko shipped it in for 21,300 a few seats over. Blom looked snakebitten, agonizing over a decision for what was just a fraction of his chips. Eventually he called, simultaneously pleading, "Small pair?"
Timoshenko turned over

"I'm good!" he said, flipping over his live 
.
The dealer was on Timoshenko's side, though, running out a safe board of 
to secure his double up. That puts him back up to about 45,000.
