Lechner Hits a Miracle One-Outer on the River
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Martin Lechner raised to 160,000 on the button, Richard Kellett three-bet to 450,000 in the small blind, and Lechner called.
The flop came K♠J♥3♥ and Kellett bet 275,000. Lechner then moved all in for 1,545,000, and Kellett called.
Martin Lechner: K♦10♥ 
Richard Kellett: A♥K♥
Both players had flopped top pair, but Kellett was ahead with his ace-kicker. John Clements and Zexuan Huang had each folded a ten, so Lechner was left with just one out after the 6♠ fell on the turn. It arrived on the 10♦ river, and Lechner turned away from the table in disbelief as he earned a miraculous double up.
