Kurmayr Wins a Flip
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Felix Kurmayr raised from early position to 50,000 and Rifat Palevic three-bet the big blind to 275,000. Kurmayr then four-bet all in for 545,000, and Palevic called.
Felix Kurmayr: 8♠8♣ 
Rifat Palevic: A♣K♦
Kurmayr needed to win a flip to stay alive, and his pocket eights kept their lead on the 3♥2♣9♥ flop. No big cards appeared on the 4♣ turn or the 6♥ river, which meant Kurmayr doubled up.
