Hubbard Goes Runner-Runner to Double
Niveau 23
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Stephen Hubbard limped in middle position, Aaron Mermelstein limped in on the button, and Jonas Kronwitter raised to 250,000 in the small blind. Hubbard then jammed for 785,000, Mermelstein folded, and Kronwitter called.
Stephen Hubbard: 
Jonas Kronwitter: 
The 
flop left Hubbard in rough shape, although the 
turn gave him some hope, and the 
hit the river to give Hubbard the best hand and keep his tournament life alive.
"Yes! I'm the greatest!" yelled Hubbard as he found an unlikely double.
