Allan Bieler Doubles... By Surprise!
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
On a board reading 
with about 45,000 in the pot, Allan Bieler managed to get his stack of 216,000 all in over top of a bet from Shaun Davis, and was called.
Bieler was at risk and tabled 
for a straight draw, and Davis showed 
for top pair. Both players had a heart in their hands, with Bieler holding the better flush draw.
The turn was the 
, completing Bieler's straight. He cheered, but when the 
hit the river he threw his hands up in disappointment. Until the dealer pushed the pot to him, he clearly thought he had lost.
When he realized he won, he sat back down and raked in the pot. Another player at the table pointed out, "You were ahead on the turn and just improved on the river!"
