Walnum Needs a Miracle
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
There was one bustout and one table still played a hand that would see Andreas Walnum reduced to a miracle, while Ivaylo Sivinov showed up out of nowhere with an above-average stack.
Walnum defended his big blind against a raise by Marco Figuccia and check-called a bet on the 
flop. On the 
turn, Walnum bet the pot, Figuccia shoved and the Norwegian called.
Marco Figuccia: 
Andreas Walnum: 
The 
on the river further improved Figuccia to a flush and he doubled for 54,200, leaving Walnum on fewer than one big blind on the direct money bubble.
