Klein Spikes River to Double on Bubble

Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Morten Klein in the small blind, who moved all in for 205,000. Maksim Vaskresenski gave it a bit of thought in the big blind, and made the call to put Klein at risk on the bubble.
Morten Klein: Q?J?
Maksim Vaskresenski: 9?8?
Klein was ahead, but was in trouble after the 8?3?2? flop gave his opponent top pair. The A? turn was a brick, but the Q? rolled off on the river to give Klein a lifeline and the pot.
