Zekerriya Nizam raised to 7,500 from middle position before Guy Gorelik three-bet to 22,000 from the next seat over. Action folded back to Nizam, who moved all in, covering Gorelik's remaining stack of around 80,000.
Gorelik took some time before making his decision.
"I don't think I can fold," he said before eventually putting his chips into the middle.
Guy Gorelik: Q♠Q♥ 
Zekerriya Nizam: J♦J♥
Gorelik had made the correct call and found himself in excellent shape with the superior pocket pair.
The K♥2♦4♦ flop kept him firmly in front, although the K♦ turn gave Nizam additional outs in the form of a flush draw. The 5♦ river completed the unlikely comeback, sending Gorelik to the rail during the early stages of Day 2.
