Zurr Pulls a Rabbit Out of the Hat to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Shai Zurr just found running cards to survive in the Main Event!
Milos Miskovic opened the hijack to 25,000 and Zurr shoved 325,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Miskovic, he confirmed the count and tossed in a chip to signify a call.
Shai Zurr: A♥Q♣ 
Milos Miskovic: 9♥9♣
It was a flip that Zurr needed to win, but that seemed extremely unlikely after the J♠J♥9♦ flop gave Miskovic a full house.
Just as Zurr was about to stand up, the J♦ turn opened up a pathway to survival as any ace, queen, or jack would see him make the best hand. One of those cards landed on the river as the Q♦ improved Zurr to a bigger full house, ensuring his miraculous survival.
