Andreas Hagen staked his tournament life on {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

and was called by an opponent holding {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. The flop was a scary {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{5-Spades}

, giving his opponent a straight draw. The turn was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, the river was the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

and Hagen doubled his short stack, avoiding the dreaded moniker of "bubble boy"... at least for now.
