Kalinin's King Comes to the Rescue
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Picking up the action on a 4♠3♣3♦ flop, Nikita Kalinin fired 170,000 into the pot of 335,000 from the big blind. Yiannis Liperis then shoved all in on the button.
Kalinin was covered, and took some time before deciding he was committed as he called off his stack of 570,000.
Nikita Kalinin: K♣Q♠ 
Yiannis Liperis: A♣4♣
Liperis' two pair was ahead, but Kalinin turned a better hand on the K♥. The 2♥ river changed nothing as a relieved Kalinin raked in his double-up.
