Habib Nails the River Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jared Luyt squeezed to 28,500 preflop and Daniel Habib called to see a flop of 10♦9♥7♦ on which Habib check-called all-in with a sigh.
Daniel Habib: J♣J♠ 
Jared Luyt: Q♦Q♠
After the 6♥ turn, Habib asked for an eight but instantly said "wait, no". That was moments before the 8♠ came on the river to indeed secure his survival in fortunate fashion. The double was for 114,500 and Luyt took a big hit.
