Santa Maria Catches Another Miracle
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 16,000 ante
Fernando Santa Maria raised to 27,000 on the button before Jorge Diego three-bet to 60,000 in the big blind. Santa Maria then moved all in for 210,000, and Diego snap-called.
Fernando Santa Maria: 9♥9♦
Jorge Diego: A♥A♦
Santa Maria was crushed by Diego's aces, but the K♥9♠8♠ flop gave him a set and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 6♣7♦ and Santa Maria earned another fortunate double up.
