Gherghe Finds Runner-Runner Flush to Crack Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Razvan Gherghe open-shoved all in from middle position with a short stack of 52,000, a little over five big blinds. Georgios Vrakas called from the button with the bigger stack. Players turned their cards, with Gherghe at risk.
Razvan Gherghe: Q♦Q♥ 
Georgios Vrakas: A♥A♣
The flop came J♦A♦2♥ and Vrakas further improved to a set of aces. The turn was the 7♦, which gave Gherghe some outs to a flush. The river fell the 8♦ and Gherghe completed his runner-runner flush to win the pot, doubling his stack.
Vrakas commented that he can't even win a hand with a set of aces.
