Holzner Spikes the River to Stay Alive

Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Juan Maceiras opened to 2,000,000 from under the gun and Daniel Holzner three-bet to 8,400,000 on his left, leaving just 100,000 behind. The action folded back to Maceiras who shoved all in and Holzner quickly called.
Daniel Holzner: A?Q?
Juan Maceiras: A?10?
The flop came 10?5?5? to give Maceiras the lead as the rest of the table looked on with anticipation of a potential final table. The turn was the 6? which changed nothing but the Q? on the river sent Holzner and his rail into a frenzy as he scored a double up.
