Fal Finds a Miracle to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Yuri Suvorov raised to 80,000 in middle position before Nikolay Fal three-bet to 600,000 on the button, leaving himself 80,000 back. Suvorov then moved all in and Fal took a few moments before sticking in his last chips.
Nikolay Fal: 9?9? 
Yuri Suvorov: J?J?
Fal was crushed by Suvorov's jacks until the flop came 9?9?5? to give him quads. Both players took out their phones and snapped photos of the board as the turn and river came 7?3? and Fal doubled up.
