Goya Hits a Miracle to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Saymon Dias raised to 120,000 in the hijack before Dante Goya reraised to 600,000 in the cutoff, leaving 60,000 behind. Pedro Padilha called on the button, while Dias got out of the way. Goya then got in his last chips on the Q♣J♠3♦ flop.
Dante Goya: A♦K♣ 
Pedro Padilha: Q♠Q♦
Padilha had flopped top set to leave Goya needing a miracle to survive, and he got it as the 10♠ turn gave him a straight. The river was the 4♦ and Goya doubled up.
