Neugebauer Spikes the River to Survive
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Catalin Pop raised to 240,000 in the hijack and Max Neugebauer called in the big blind.
The flop came 6♦3♠2♥ and Pop bet 340,000. Neugebauer then moved all in for 1,510,000, and Pop snap-called.
Max Neugebauer: 5♦3♦ 
Catalin Pop: Q♠Q♣
Neugebauer had a pair and straight draw but needed to improve against Pop's two queens. The 10♥ turn was no help, but the 5♣ fell on the river to give Neugebauer two pair and the double up.
"Yay!" Gerald Karlic said.
"Yay!" Neugebauer repeated, raising his arms in the air.
