Sidhu Goes Runner-Runner For a Miracle Double
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Around 70,000 was in the pot as four players went to a flop of 9♦3♣7♥. Bruno Desimoni then bet 22,000 from the small blind and Kuljinder Sidhu moved all in for 128,000 in the big blind.
Christophe Larquemin reshoved for 260,000 in middle position and Juan Gozalo Ares tanked for several minutes in the hijack before folding. Desimoni also folded.
Kuljinder Sidhu: K♣9♣ 
Christophe Larquemin: 7♣7♠
Sidhu immediately stood up from his seat upon seeing Larquemin's set. The 4♣ turn left him one card away from elimination, while the J♣ fell on the river.
Desimoni had to point out to Sidhu that he had made a running flush, keeping him alive in the tournament as Sidhu sat back in his seat.
