Lafontaine Hits a Miracle to Stun Prusov

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Luc Lafontaine
Luc Lafontaine

Dmitrii Prusov had just fired his second bullet when he bet 3,000 under the gun in a four-way pot on a flop of 1065. Luc Lafontaine then raised to 12,500 in the cutoff and Prusov moved all in for 24,500.

Lafontaine tanked for more than a minute until he called to put Prusov at risk.

Dmitrii Prusov: AA All in
Luc Lafontaine: 107

Prusov had picked up aces and was a favorite to double up, but Lafontaine spiked the 10 on the turn to make trips.

"One outer," [Removed:467], who had folded on the flop, said. The river was the 4 and Lafontaine won the pot to send Prusov to the rail again.

"I got lucky. Sometimes you need that," Lafontaine said.

Perez Flops the Nuts in Five-Way Pot

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Five players saw a flop of 879 where Jason Rocha bet 2,200 from the hijack. Francisco Perez then raised to 9,000 in the small blind.

Luke Appleton tanked for a minute before folding under the gun, while Sylwester Fortuna also folded in middle position as action went back on Rocha who moved all in. Perez snap-called for 20,000.

Francisco Perez: J10 All in
Jason Rocha: A8

Appleton shot out of his seat and pumped his fist after seeing Perez's flopped straight. Rocha was on a flush draw but missed the 2 turn and 2 river as Perez doubled up.

Appleton then admitted he folded two kings. "Not the best flop for kings, especially with five players," Perez told him.

David Santana was all in for around 20,000 from the hijack and up against Edoardo Dellisola in the big blind.

David Santana: QQ All in
Edoardo Dellisola: AA

Santana had run into aces and was at risk of elimination as the flop came J33. The turn, though, was the Q and Santana hit his two-outer to make a full house.
