"Fish Gets Lucky" as Jakutis Survives on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Around 11,000 was in the pot as Laurynas Jakutis and Shi Dong went to the turn on a board of 5♣5♦7♥2♣. Jakutis then moved all in for 18,600 in middle position and Dong thought about the decision for a minute before calling in the small blind.
Jakutis showed A♣10♣ for a flush draw, while Dong was ahead with A♦K♥. The 9♣ fell on the river to complete Jakutis' flush and earn him the double up.
"Just write, 'hero gets f**ked," tablemate Cameron Williamson said after the hand.
"Fish gets lucky," Christopher Hendry added.
"Yeah, that's even better. Fish gets lucky," Williamson said before complimenting Dong on the hero-call gone wrong.
