Good Run Out Saves Samuelsson's Day

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Niklas Hambitzer opened from the button to 45,000 and Andreas Samuelsson moved all in from the big blind for 385,000 total. After getting a count, Hambitzer made the call with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and was racing against his opponent's {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

The flop moved Hambitzer into the lead as it came {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Clubs} prompting Samuelsson to say "good turn" as it gave him an open-ended straight draw. He would hit that draw on the {9-Spades} river and let out a "yes" while pumping his fist. With that double up Samuelsson moved to 800,000 in chips while Hambitzer dropped to slightly below that amount with 710,000.
