Bit of Luck Keeps Kalinin In
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With only 18,500 (around 9 big blinds) and sat in the button, Nikita Kalinin moved all in when the came unopened to him. Xiaotian Yang was in the big blind and made the call and Kalinin was in bad shape when the cards went over.
Nikita Kalinin: 
Xiaotian Yang: 
The 
flop looked nice and safe for Yang. The turn was the 
and only a four for the gutshot would do for the all in player. The river was the 
and a straight for Kalinin keeps him in the game.
