Dan Fades the "Jeff Platt Curse" to Double
Level 19
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jeff Platt was standing by the table preparing to interview Jeremy Dan when Dan got involved in a pot with Daniel Kyosev, putting his last 2,200,000 in the middle from the cutoff as Kyosev called in middle position.
Jeremy Dan: 10♣10♥ 
Daniel Kyosev: A♥K♥
Dan was racing for his tournament life as the flop came J♣10♦2♥, giving him a set and Kyosev a straight draw. The 9♠ turn was safe for Dan, while the river was the J♦ and Dan improved to a full house to secure the double up.
After the hand, Platt asked Dan about sweating out that hand. "The sweat was seeing tens and having you breathing down my neck, but I guess it wasn't. The Jeff Platt curse is over," Dan declared.
