Miracle For Muehlebach
Mathias Muehlebach limped under the gun before Adrian Liechti raised to 3,000 in the hijack. Komil Khamidov called on the button, but the player in the small blind three-bet to 10,000. Muehlebach and Liechti called.
The small blind bet 10,000 upon seeing the 3♦4♠10♥ flop, and was immediately called by Muehlebach. Liechti folded.
When the 3♣ hit the turn, the small blind jammed for about 25,000. Muehlebach snap-called and the cards were tabled.
Small Blind: A♣A♦ 
Mathias Muehlebach: 8♠8♦
Muehlebach was in bad shape with pocket eights against the aces of his opponent, and only a date with an eight would win him the pot.
The dealer burned a card, then put out the 8♥ on the river to give Muehlebach exactly what he needed, sending the small blind player to the rail.
