Boianovsky Survives a Flip
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Vladimir Minko raised to 100,000 in the hijack with K♦Q♠ and Leandro Zavodini called in the small blind.
Minko hit top pair on the K♥8♦6♥ flop and continued for 100,000. Zavodini called, and the K♣ turn improved Minko to trips. He then bet 400,000, and Zavodini folded 10♣9♣.
Zavodini then raised to 110,000 on the button and Felipe Boianovsky three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind, leaving 60,000 behind. Zavodini moved all in, and Boianovsky called off his last few chips.
Felipe Boianovsky: 6♦6♣ 
Leandro Zavodini: K♥Q♥
Boianovsky was racing for his tournament life, and his sixes held on through the 9♦5♥3♠8♣3♣ board to earn him the double up.
