Chouity Gets Lucky, Survives
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Alexander Paygusov opened for 23,000 in middle position and called the shove of Nicolas Chouity, who had the small blind.
Paygusov: 
Chouity: 
The former chip leader needed help and found some on the 
flop, vastly increasing his outs. The 
turn cinched it for him with the nut flush. Paygusov sent Chouity about 200,000, nearly all of his own stack.
