Fal Finds a Double With Big Slick
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Out of the small blind, Nikolay Fal was all-in for his stack of 1,140,000, and Jon Kyte, who was seated in the big blind, was trying to bust him.
Nikolay Fal: A♣K♦ 
Jon Kyte: A♦8♦
Fal was in a great spot to double up just before the break, if he could fade an unfortunate runout.
The flop of 6♣4♦5♣ helped neither player, nor did the 10♣ turn. Only an eight or a seven on the river would send the Main Event to the last two tables.
It didn't come for Kyte, as the 10♥ completed the board, and Fal doubled.
