Lafontaine Hits a Miracle to Stun Prusov
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Dmitrii Prusov had just fired his second bullet when he bet 3,000 under the gun in a four-way pot on a flop of 10♠6♦5♣. Luc Lafontaine then raised to 12,500 in the cutoff and Prusov moved all in for 24,500.
Lafontaine tanked for more than a minute until he called to put Prusov at risk.
Dmitrii Prusov: A♦A♠ 
Luc Lafontaine: 10♥7♥
Prusov had picked up aces and was a favorite to double up, but Lafontaine spiked the 10♣ on the turn to make trips.
"One outer," Mustafa Al Sayegh, who had folded on the flop, said. The river was the 4♣ and Lafontaine won the pot to send Prusov to the rail again.
"I got lucky. Sometimes you need that," Lafontaine said.
