Fal Finds a Miracle to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Yuri Suvorov raised to 80,000 in middle position before Nikolay Fal three-bet to 600,000 on the button, leaving himself 80,000 back. Suvorov then moved all in and Fal took a few moments before sticking in his last chips.
Nikolay Fal: 9♣9♥ 
Yuri Suvorov: J♦J♥
Fal was crushed by Suvorov's jacks until the flop came 9♦9♠5♥ to give him quads. Both players took out their phones and snapped photos of the board as the turn and river came 7♦3♣ and Fal doubled up.
