Roman Seleznev Defies the Odds to Double Through Artsiom Zhadinsky

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Roman Seleznev moved all in for 41,000 from the button and Artsiom Zhadinsky called in the big blind.

Seleznev: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Zhadinsky: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both players had what was technically the same hand, and each had only a 7% chance of winning.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} giving Seleznev a stellar opportunity to double up if he could find another heart. The turn was exactly that the {3-Hearts} giving him a flush and the {j-Clubs} was irrelevant. Seleznev is still short but in better shape than he was at the beginning of the hand.
