Colavita Comes From Behind to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nazarii Piznak raised to 20,000 in early position, Mario Colavita moved all in for 91,000 in the hijack, and Piznak called.
Mario Colavita: A♣J♥ 
Nazarii Piznak: A♦Q♦
Piznak had Colavita dominated and was poised for a knockout until the flop brought J♦9♠8♣, giving Colavita top pair and the lead, but also giving Piznak a gutshot straight draw. The K♠ turn changed nothing, and he also missed the 6♣ river, handing over the double-up.
