Big Sweat for Ermin

Level 17
: Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante
After two limps, Ivan Ermin moved all in from the cutoff and Martin Nielsen made the call from under the gun to put him at risk.
Ivan Ermin: A?K?
Martin Nielsen: A?K?
In most situations, the players will chop this hand up, but the flop of 8?6?Q? gave Nielsen a freeroll as he had nut backdoor spade outs.
The turn J? gave him a full-on flush draw and Ermin had to sweat the river to avoid a spade but luckily for him, it came the J? and they chopped it up.
"Hey, I think you made 16,000," Eric Wasserson chimed in as they took their bets back.
