Pudel Doubles On the Bubble
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov opened from early position to 30,000 and Nils Pudel shoved from the next seat for 342,000. Zhen Chen was in the big blind and called, then Gromov folded.
Nils Pudel: A♦K♦ 
Zhen Chen : A♠K♣
The most likely scenario was that the two would chop, but Pudel had a chance to snatch it all after the J♦2♠6♦ flop gave him a flush draw. Pudel didn't need to wait too long before he celebrated, as the 4♦ turn gave him an unbeatable flush. A meaningless 5♣ dropped on the river, and Pudel doubled up.
