Miracle Double for Sare
Level 27
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Christian Schneider raised to 200,000, and Ian Kostenko in the small blind put in calling chips for a limp, then noticed Schneider had raised and put in the additional chips without much of a hassle within a few seconds. Ridvan Sare in the big blind also called with a short stack behind, and they went three ways to the 9♦7♠3♥ flop.
Kostenko led for 180,000, and Sare pushed all in. Schneider asked for a count. The shove was for 445,000, and Schneider folded. Kostenko instantly called.
Ridvan Sare: 5♣3♦ 
Ian Kostenko: K♥K♣
The 2♥ turn was a blank, but Sare spiked the miracle 5♥ river to double with his mighty two pair.
"You saw the open raise, right?" Antonio Fragale asked Kostenko, who shook his head. "I don't believe you," the Italian grinned.
