Heaver Doubles; Bubble Still Floating

Greg Heaver just avoided earning the title of bubble boy after surviving a hand that, according to the laws of mathematics, he should've lost.

Heaver moved all in preflop for his last 2,500 holding {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and his opponent called the extra 500 with {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The board filled out {3-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} giving Heaver a miracle straight to stay alive in the tournament, though short, with 5,000 in chips.
