Buckholtz Finds a Miracle

We picked up the action on a {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board and Raymond Dandrea betting 55,000 in position. One player got out of the way before Ryan Buckholtz check-raised all in for 130,000 more. Dandrea thought for a bit before sliding in calling chips.

Dandrea: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Buckholtz: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The turn {a-Spades} and river {q-Spades} brought Buckholtz a backdoor flush as he managed to not only avoid elimination but find himself with a stack that is above the current average.
