Tan Spikes a Miracle to Survive
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Johnny Tan moved all in for 200,000 from the small blind, and Yusei Iyama put him at risk in the big blind.
Johnny Tan: A♦2♥
Yusei Iyama: A♥A♣
Tan had run right into Iyama's aces and was at serious risk of elimination as the flop came 5♥Q♣K♣. The turn was the 4♦, but the 3♥ river gave Tan a running straight to win the pot and earn a miraculous double up.
