Desset Finds a Miracle Double on the River
Level 32
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Andrej Desset raised to 1,080,000, leaving himself just 30,000 behind, in the cutoff and Stefan Fabian called on the button.
The flop came 6♦K♥5♣ and Fabian put Desset all in. Desset turned around to look at what was happening on the other tables, then called the clock on himself. He eventually tossed in his last chips.
Andrej Desset: A♥5♦
Stefan Fabian: J♣J♦
Desset was trailing Fabian's jacks as the Q♣ fell on the turn. The 5♠ river, though, gave Desset trips and kept his tournament hopes alive.
"It happens," Fabian said with a smile as he handed over the pot.
