Angelov Gets the Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ren Lin was starting to run away with the heads-up match, until Boris Angelov shoved from the button for 1,510,000. Lin gave it some thought and then made the call, putting Angelov at risk.
Boris Angelov: 9♣6♣ 
Ren Lin: Q♦10♦
The flop came 5♥9♦2♦ to give Angelov a pair of nines and Lin a flush draw with overcards.
"Keep it black," said Angelov.
"Blacker than Lady Gaga?" retorted Lin.
The turn was the A♠ and river the J♥. Angelov held to win the pot and double his stack, still behind but much closer to even.
