Tanner Flops the Nuts to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Idan Nagauker opened to 60,000 from early position and Christoph Tanner shoved the button for 385,000. Bogdan Roman was in the big blind and reshoved, for around 1,400,000, which got a fold out of Nagauker.
Christoph Tanner: A♥10♥ 
Bogdan Roman: A♦K♣
Tanner was in trouble and needed to find a little help from the dealer to stay in contention. It's safe to say that he got that help on the J♥2♥5♥ flop as he made the nut flush, which left Roman drawing dead.
A Q♥ on the turn brought around an elusive royal flush draw, which didn't come in on the 6♦ river. That probably won't bother Tannar too much, though, as his stack still jumped up to around 875,000.
