One Outer Slays Szerszen

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

All the chips went int the middle pre-flop, and it was Czeslaw Szerszen at risk for his tournament life with 75,000 chips. He was called by Murad Akhundov, and the Azerbaijani was in need of help if he was going to eliminate Szerszen.

The flop of {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades} put Szerszen ahead, and there he stayed on the {3-Diamonds} turn. But the {Q-Spades} river, a one-outer, sent him packing and gave Akhundov 195,000. Poker can be brutal.
