Gordin Survives a Sweat With Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dragos Gordin had shoved from early position for around 130,000 and was put at risk by Nicolas Courbin on the button.
Dragos Gordin: A♠A♣ 
Nicolas Courbin: 9♥9♦
The board produced a sweat as Courbin picked up both straight and flush draws on the turn, but the river bricked on the 6♦K♥8♦5♦Q♥ runout, which earned Gordin his double-up.
