Alaei Doubles Up, Hitting a Miracle Deuce on the River

Daniel Alaei had his back against the ropes holding {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} against Stefan Mattsson's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Alaei had moved all in before the flop for his last 945,000 and Mattsson made the call.

The board filled out {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, giving Alaei four additional outs to a straight by the turn, but it was the deuce he paired on the river that kept him alive.

Alaei stacked up just over two million in chips after the hand, while Mattsson dropped to 3,300,000.
