Lucky Double Up For Domin
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Under the gun with only 240,000 chips left, Rudolf Domin had almost no choice but to go all in. On the button, Abulmuhsin Aydin raised to 500,000, and the blinds folded.
Rudolf Domin: 6♣3♣
Abulmuhsin Aydin: A♥2♥
The dealer fanned a flop of K♣K♥10♣, that gave a flush draw to Domin. And it didn't take long for him to complete this flush, as the 4♣ came on the turn. After the river 10♥, Domin doubled up to 900,000 chips.
