Hermans with Miracle Double

Ernst Hermans moved all in on the button for 1.41 million and Wayne Carlson went into the tank from the small blind. He counted out the amount of chips that would be needed to make the call and then went into the tank some more. Eventually, he made the call with pocket nines -- {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. Hermans held two sixes -- {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} to give Hermans the miracle double up by hitting a gutshot on the river for a straight. He's up to 2.9 million while Carlson dropped to 1.15 million.
