Hassan Strikes Back
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Amir Hassan, who was down to around 15 big blinds not so long ago, is surging back into contention.
The action was picked up with Hassan all in preflop from the big blind for 210,000, which Yevhen Korynetskyi had called from the button.
Amir Hassan: 6♦6♣ 
Yevhen Korynetskyi: A♥Q♥
Hassan was ahead with pocket sixes, but had a lot of fading to do as the 2♣10♥3♥ flop gave Korynetskyi a flush draw to go along with his two overs.
An 8♦ on the turn was clean for Hassan, as was the 10♦ river, which meant he managed to survive and doubled up to around 450,000.
