Lehmann Finds an Ace to Double
Level 24
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ren Lin raised to 800,000 under the gun and Roeland Peeks called on the button. Nazar Buhaiov then moved all in for 5,700,000 in the small blind, Georg Lehmann called for 5,300,000 in the big blind, and both Lin and Peeks got out of the way.
Georg Lehmann: A♣K♦ 
Nazar Buhaiov: 10♦10♣
Lehmann was racing for his tournament life and hit top pair on the A♦8♦7♣ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 9♣Q♠ and Lehmann secured the double up.
Buhaiov believed he was eliminated and walked away from the table. Lin had to run to retrieve him and inform Buhaiov that he still had 400,000 remaining as he returned to the table to nurse a one-big blind stack.
