Liperis Leaves it Late to Double
Level 15
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hadi Khordbin raised the hijack to 100,000 and Yiannis Liperis shoved the button for 1,075,000. When it got back to Khordbin, he confirmed the count and then made the call.
Yiannis Liperis: A♦Q♥ 
Hadi Khordbin: 10♦10♣
Liperis needed to win the flip to stay alive and without actually improving to a made hand, found a pretty decent flop on 7♥2♥5♥ as he picked up a flush draw. A 7♠ on the turn was a brick and prompted Liperis to turn away and start to stand up, but the A♠ river made him get back in his seat as he doubled up.
