Polukejevs Rivers a Miracle
Niveau 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Vitalijs Polukejevs shoved from the hijack for 1,110,000 and Niall Campbell moved all in himself with a stack that covered the table. After the rest of the table folded the cards were flipped over
Vitalijs Polukejevs: 8♠8♥ 
Niall Campbell: A♠K♣
A race that Polukejevs had to win. The A♦K♠Q♠ flop propelled Campbell into the lead with top two pair. The 5♠ came on the turn and meant Polukejevs only had one out in the deck to win.
Polukejevs was already headed for the cashier's desk in anticipation of being the first casualty of the final table. However, the miracle 8♦ peeled off on the river to give him a set, and Polukejevs miraculously doubled up.
