Miracle River for Marchuet as Olsen is Left Steaming
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
In a blind-versus-blind battle the flop read J♥7♦6♥ with about 6,000 in the middle. Pol Marchuet had 10,000 across the line as he faced an all-in jam from Alf-Inge Olsen. After tanking for some time, he tossed the rest of his 22,700 across the line.
Pol Marchuet: 9♣9♦ 
Alf-Inge Olsen: J♠5♦
There was only one overcard to Matchuet's pocket pair, but unfortunately for him, Olsen connected with it, leaving Matchuet in a tough spot to stay in the game. The 5♠ hit the turn, then Marchuet was able to find one of the remaining nines as the 9♠ completed the board as Olsen jumped out of his seat in shock.
"I'm steaming," Olsen said, as the dealer began to shuffle the next hand.
