Runout Saves Abakirov From Massive Cooler Flop

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Heads-up on the {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, Kubanychbek Abakirov bet 375,000 from early position and was called by Basel Khabbazeh in the cutoff.

The turn came the {j-Hearts} and both players checked. Abakirov again checked the {9-Hearts} river and Khabbazeh checked behind.

Abakirov turned over {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair on the flop, but Khabbazeh had {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a flopped set.

"Lucky," Khabbazeh told him following the hand as Abakirov wiped his forehead after getting away cheap from a pot that could've been much worse.
