Demirkol Rivers the Winner to Keep the Dream Alive
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov shoved from the small blind and Mehmet Demirkol called for his last 450,000 out of the big blind.
Mehmet Demirkol: A♥8♦ 
Dmitry Gromov: Q♦9♦
Demirkol was slightly ahead with ace-high. The board came K♥2♥2♠Q♥6♥ which gave Gromov a pair of queens on the turn, but the heart on the river saved Demirkol as he improved to a flush, earning him the much-needed double-up.
