Acerra Hits Miracle on the River
Level 31
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Bill Acerra limped in the small blind and Ron Fienberg raised in the big blind to 1,200,000. Acerra made the call.
The flop came 2♦7♣J♠ and Acerra quickly moved all in for 4,700,000 to put himself at risk. Fienberg counted out his chips and made the call.
Bill Acerra: 3♣2♥ 
Ron Fienberg: 7♦6♥
Fienberg was far out in the lead and pulled ahead even further on the 6♦ turn, improving to two pair.
Bryan Keefer folded the 2♣, leaving Acerra with just one out. The river brought just that - the 2♠ and Acerra doubled up in spectacular fashion.
