Neilson Finds the Runner-Runner Double
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Daniel Neilson jammed for around 2,000,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Henrique Lessa in the small blind who made the call. The big blind got out of the way to set up a heads up runout with Neilson at risk.
Daniel Neilson: Q♠9♠
Henrique Lessa: A♠5♠
The A♥2♣K♠ flop was no good for Neilson as it left him drawing to running cards. The J♠ gave him all the running outs as it brought in both straight and flush draws and when the 10♣ completed the board, it also completed Neilson's come back as he finds the running outs he needed to stave off elimination and find a full and much needed double up.
