Fortunate Runout Saves Niste From a Dangerous Flop
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Heads-up on a board of 4♠J♠K♦10♦, Rachid El Yaacoubi bet 8,500 from middle position before Mihai Niste raised to 22,000 on the button.
El Yaacoubi called to see the A♣ river and checked. Niste checked back and El Yaacoubi turned over 4♥4♦ for a flopped set.
Niste flashed K♥J♥ for two pair on the flop as he surrendered what could've been a much larger pot.
