Fal Hits the Rail
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nikolay Fal had recently been left very short-stacked and moved all in for 55,000 from middle position. Oleg Udovenko raised to 110,000 from the hijack and Martin Diaz called in the big blind.
The flop came K♥7♠4♠. Diaz checked, Udovenko moved all in, covering Diaz who had about 350,000 behind and Diaz folded.
Nikolay Fal: 10♥9♦ 
Oleg Udovenko: A♠K♦
Fal was drawing close to dead against Udovenko's top pair but did pick up a straight draw on the 6♦ turn. He found no further help on the Q♦ river and was sent to the rail while Udovenko claimed the last of his chips.
