Korkmaz Spikes the River to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ran Ilani raised to 20,000 from early position before Koray Korkmaz shoved all in for 196,000 in middle position. Ilani asked for a count before he called.
Koray Korkmaz: 
Ran Ilani: 
Korkmaz was dominated and got no help on the 
flop as he was already getting up from his seat and preparing to exit the tournament.
The 
on the turn was no help and Korkmaz was now one card away from elimination, but he hit the 
on the river to double up.
"Happy endings," a tablemate told him as Korkmaz sat back down.
