Buldygin Hits a Miracle to Double

Level 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Viacheslav Buldygin was all in for 239,000 from the cutoff and was up against Elias Gutierrez in the big blind.
Viacheslav Buldygin: A?Q?
Elias Gutierrez: J?10?
The J?6?9? flop gave Gutierrez top pair, while the 8? turn also gave him a flush draw. The river, though, was the A? and Buldygin found one of his few remaining outs to double up.
"No way. Really," Gutierrez cried out.
