Krasienko Gets Shove Through, Then Doubles

Action folded to Christian Pham in the cutoff, and he opened to 575,000. Michael Krasienko was in the big blind and moved all in for 4,745,000. Pham tanked for a couple minutes and then elected to muck.

Then, Robin Hegele raised to 555,000 in the cutoff. Krasienko moved all in from the small blind for 5,710,000. Hegele thought for about a minute and called.

Michael Krasienko: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Robin Hegele: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Krasienko needed to fade an ace, hearts or a combination of straight draws to survive, and the flop was {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, doing exactly that. The turn was the {6-Spades}, and the two players' rails were yelling out for the card that they each wanted to see. The river brought the {8-Diamonds}, sending a massive double-up to Krasienko, who has been patiently waiting for his spots.
