Alexey Nikolenko Secures Miracle Double-Up

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

It folded to Alexey Nikolenko in the small blind who moved all in for his last 29,500. Bertrand Grospellier was in the big blind and instantly called.

Nikolenko: {q-Spades}{3-Spades}
Grospellier: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Nikolenko was dominated and there was hardly any help for him on the {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {5-Hearts} giving him an open-ended straight draw. The river was the {a-Diamonds} giving him a wheel straight and doubling up his meagre stack.
