River Saves Lukin's Tournament Life
Level 33
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Yury Masliankou had been bossing things after resuming from the break and the tournament has just glimpsed a potential end to this stalemate.
On a 
flop Masliankou checked to opponent Daniil Lukin who bet 250,000. Masliankou check-raised to 750,000 and Lukin shoved. Masliankou didn't think long before calling.
Daniil Lukin: 
Yury Masliankou: 
Masliankou had flopped the nut straight against the pair and straight draw of Lukin. The turn was the 
but the river 
meant the pair chopped the hand and heads-up play continued.
