Igor Abelmasov moved all-in for around 400,00 from late position and got put at risk by Ruslan Bakhtiev.

Igor Abelmasov: Q♥10♣ All in
Ruslan Bakhtiev: A♦Q♠

Abelmasov was in a sticky situation, but saw light at the end of the tunnel as the J♣8♣J♥ flop gave him a gutshot. More outs appeared on the 5♣ turn as he picked up a flush draw, however the 6♦ river was a brick, and Abelmasov hit the rail.
