[user66118]

Lee Nelson put in the first raise from the button, making it 3,600 to play. In the small blind, John Dalessandri reraised to a total of 10,500. Nelson makes the call, and it's heads up from here on out.

The flop reveals {A-Spades}

. Dalessandri moves all in for 15,500, wihch Nelson quickly calls.

Showdown:
Dalessandri: {K-Diamonds}

Nelson:

With all of his chips in the middle of the table, John Dalessandri is on the ropes, just two cards away from the exit. The turn is a useless {2-Diamonds}

. With one foot in the grave, Dalessandri somehow manages to spike the {K-Clubs}

on the river, winning him the pot with triple kings and drawing a huge reaction from the table and the spectators.

After pulling that miracle cowboy out of the deck, John Dalessandri has doubled up to 58,000, leaving Lee Nelson trailing with 53,000.
