Yurasov Gets Coolered and then Coolers
Level 14
: 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Dmitry Yurasov opened under the gun and promptly got three-bet by the player who was next to act. It folded all the way back to him and he took a moment before putting in the four-bet jam. His opponent snap called.
Dmitry Yurasov: K♣K♦
Middle Position: A♣A♠
Yurasov was in a miserable spot but the 8♠K♥6♣ flop landed and brought new life to his tournament. The 6♠ turn and 2♠ river sealed the deal and Yurasov was on the right end of a cooler stay alive.

Khalil Piles it In
Level 14
: 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Ghassan Khalil opened the cutoff to 8,000 before the action was on the button who three-bet to 22,000. It folded all the way back to Khalil who went into the tank and after a few minutes he four-bet all in for his last 157,000. His opponent didn't snap call but they flicked in a chip pretty quickly.
Ghassan Khalil: Q♣Q♠
Button: A♥K♦
Khalil flopped a set on the 3♥Q♥J♥ board but the Button was holding the ace of hearts to make it a sweat. The 4♣ turn was not it and the 4♦ river sealed the deal.
Khalil got a pure double after finding the jam.
