Mahmoud Leaves it Late to Double Through Pateychuk
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Andrey Pateychuk raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Yassin Mahmoud shoved from middle position for 650,000. When the action got back to Pateychuk, he did some inventory before making the call.
Yassin Mahmoud: A♥Q♠ 
Andrey Pateychuk: 6♦6♣
Mahmoud was flipping for his tournament life right at the end of Day 1c and didn't find anything that could save him on the 4♠K♣9♥ flop. A 10♥ on the turn did add four more outs as he picked up a gutshot to Broadway, but it was Pateychuk who still held the lead.
That lead changed hands when the J♠ landed on the river, as Mahmoud completed his straight draw and earned himself a late double-up.
