Mulder Survives on a Miracle
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Teun Mulder raised to 75,000 in the cutoff, leaving just 20,000 behind, and Juan Pardo called on the button.
The flop came A♠5♥5♦ and Mulder checked to Pardo who bet. Mulder then tossed in his last chips.
Teun Mulder: 4♦4♣ 
Juan Pardo: A♣K♣
Mulder was at serious risk of being eliminated on the bubble as Pardo showed down two pair. The turn was the 3♥, but the 2♥ river gave Mulder a straight and a miraculous double up.
