Flieder Hits Buzzer-Beating Double

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With play on the verge of bagging up, John McDonald opened to 4,000 on the button. Small blind Jeremy Flieder moved all in for 49,500, and James Calderaro made the call. McDonald let his hand go.

Jeremy Flieder: A♣J♥ All in
James Calderaro: J♣J♦

Calderaro was dominating, but his mood changed instantly as an ace in the window of the 4♣Q♥A♥ flop fired his opponent into the lead. The Q♣10♣ runout changed nothing, as Flieder managed to survive the day.
