Skripkin Cracks Hasnir's Kings
Level 17
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Maksim Skripkin raised to 170,000 from early position and the player in the next seat called. With the action now on Richard Hasnir he three-bet to 650,000. The rest of the table folded and Skripkin moved all in for 1.6m, with one player folding before Hasnir snap-called.
Maksim Skripkin: 
Richard Hasnir: 
Board: 
Skripkin was in big trouble preflop and on the verge of elimination until the flop brought one of his two immediate outs. The turn spade card gave Hasnir additional outs with a redraw to the flush, but the river bricked for him, and Skripkin secured an unlikely double up.
