Vazic Rivers a Miracle to Crack Aces
Level 3
: Blinds 300/700, 700 ante
Shai Arbel raised to 1,600 from the hijack and Andrey Golubev called on the button. Stojan Vazic squeezed it up to 10,000 from the big blind, and then Arbel four-bet to 27,000. Golubev folded before Vazic five-bet jammed for 99,800. Arbel immediately called with the covering stack.
Stojan Vazic: Q♥Q♠ 
Shai Arbel: A♠A♦
Vazic was in bad shape with pocket queens against the preflop nuts of Arbel.
Arbel stayed ahead through the 4♥6♣7♣ flop and J♦ turn. Only a two-outer on the river would save Vazic from the rail. The dealer burned a card then delivered the miracle Q♣ to complete the board, giving Vazic a set to win the pot.
