Holmsten Cracks Aces In Dramatic Fashion
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andreas Holmsten moved all in for 18,000 from early position and was looked up by Hadi Ahangar, on the button.
Andreas Holmsten: Q♠9♠ 
Hadi Ahangar: A♠A♥
The 3♥K♦6♠ flop had Holmsten drawing to a very slim chance of victory, needing running cards to improve. The Q♦ turn gave Holmsten a glimmer of hope and the unlikely Q♣ river saw him crack aces to stay alive.
