Six Saves Ziv

Shamus

Oleksandr Ziv has had a difficult first two levels, gradually sliding down to just 20,000. Just now a player raised to 3,000 from the cutoff and Ziv decided to push all in from the small blind. The big blind folded and Ziv's opponent called, showing {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

. Ziv slowly and somewhat dejectedly tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

and it was looking bleak for Ziv. But the turn was the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. The river brought the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

, and Ziv doubles back to 42,000.
