Acar Hits the Flop to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nuri Acar made it 25,000 from the cutoff before Faris Kanaan three-bet to 85,000 from the button. Acar four-bet jammed for 140,000, and Kanaan made the call.
Nuri Acar: K♠Q♠ 
Faris Kanaan: A♣9♦
Kanaan was ahead and just had to avoid Acar connecting with the runout to add some chips to his stack.
Acar moved in front on the 6♣Q♣2♦ flop with top pair. The remainder of the board came 2♠7♦, and Acar secured the much-needed double-up.
