Up and Down Dag

Dag Martin Mikkelsen has seen his stack slip down to well below 200,000 multiple times during the early stages of Day 4, even having his stack all in twice. The latest all in from Mikkelsen saw him holding {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} against the big stack of James Keys, who held {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

It was bleak times for Mikkelsen, but by the time the {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board had ran out, Mikkelsen had a huge amount of outs heading into the river. One of those outs happened to be the {6-Diamonds} and that's what peeled off as the last card on the board. With that, Mikkelsen doubled up from around 129,000.
