Angelov Gets the Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ren Lin was starting to run away with the heads-up match, until Boris Angelov shoved from the button for 1,510,000. Lin gave it some thought and then made the call, putting Angelov at risk.
Boris Angelov: 9?6? 
Ren Lin: Q?10?
The flop came 5?9?2? to give Angelov a pair of nines and Lin a flush draw with overcards.
"Keep it black," said Angelov.
"Blacker than Lady Gaga?" retorted Lin.
The turn was the A? and river the J?. Angelov held to win the pot and double his stack, still behind but much closer to even.
