Verderamo Lassoes Lavin

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Nicholas Verderamo made a three-bet to 9,000 following an early position 3,000 open. Michael Lavin, two to his left, made it 22,000 and the early position player folded. Verderamo shoved for 71,000 effective, and Lavin called.

Michael Lavin: A♣K♠ All in
Nicholas Verderamo: K♥K♦

Lavin had just the one over, but by the 2♠5♣10♠6♠ turn he had a flush draw to go alongside it. The Q♦ river was not one of his outs, as he hit the rail towards the end of the night.
