Kevin Bergeron shoved preflop and was insta-called by former chip leader John Rathbun. We say former, because John has been doubling up players from his chip lead position all night, many times as the statistical favorite. This was to be another one of those times.

Both players turned over their cards, with Kevin’s pocket deuces facing off against John’s pocket nines.

The board came down and both players jumped to their feet, both naming their preferred cards as the dealer flipped over the river. Kevin probably thought he was done, but miraculously a came down on the river, saving his tournament life and doubling him up.

Play continues…
