Abdo Nails Two Outer to Double Through

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Finding himself far behind the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} held by his opponent on a board of {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Greg Aldo needed a miracle to arrive on the river if his {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} was to overcome top pair.

The dealer slowly peeled the {9-Diamonds} on the river and Aldo spiked a two-outer to stay alive as Day 2 of this $1,000 NL Hold'Em event continues.
