Haidar Drills a Flush to Double Through Velesiuk
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Safi Haidar has fired a few bullets in the Main Event, but perhaps this one is the lucky one.
On a board of 7♥10♦K♦, there were around 15,000 in the pot when Vitali Velesiuk checked the small blind and Haidar bet 11,500 out of the big blind. Velesiuk responded with a raise to 33,500, and Haidar shoved 81,200. Velesiuk called.
Safi Haidar: A♦4♦ 
Vitali Velesiuk: K♥10♠
Haidar needed a diamond to survive, and his wishes came true as the 3♦ turn improved him to the nut flush. Velesiuk still had a way out as any king or ten would give him a full house, but the 6♥ river bricked out.
