Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Daniil Fedunov got the hand started with a raise from early position before Basilio Gallardo announced all-in in the next seat over. Fedunov made the call to put Gallardo at risk.

Basilio Gallardo: K♠K♦[alllin]
Daniil Fedunov: 7♥7♦

Gallardo was well ahead, but the flop was ominous as it came 3♣4♣5♣ to give Fedunov a straight draw to go with his outs to a set.

The 4♠ was safe for Gallardo, but the river was gut-wrenching as it peeled the 6♦ to give Fedunov a straight and send Gallardo to the payout desk.
