Serrano's Miracle

Of all the ways to make 250,000 chips, Rodrigo Serrano may have chosen the absolute hardest route, but somehow, he got there.

Pre-flop, Serrano was in first position and made it 3,500 to go. Antonio Carica Sastre called in the next seat, but when the play was folded round to Liudmila Mitanova, who raised all-in for 75,000. Serrano moved all-in himself for a little more still, but behind him, Sastre called it off!

Liudmila Mitanova:
Rodrigo Serrano:
Antonio Garcia Sastre:

An incredible set of hands, but the drama was only beginning. To gasps from the massed throng on the rail, the flop came , giving a gobsmacked Serrano a miracle set with the case king. The turn was the and the river , meaning Serrano made a miracle full house and victory at the expense of two players.
