Unlikely Runout Saves Lavi
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
It started with a cutoff open to 1,100 and a call on the button. The small blind came along too, before Viktor Lavi three-bet all in for 4,575. The initial raiser folded, but it was a call from the button, and the small blind took a couple of minutes to think before passing.
Viktor Lavi: 
Opponent: 
Lavi was in bad shape as they went heads-up to the flop. It fell 
and only a runner-runner straight would be able to save Lavi's tournament life against his opponent's set of tens. The 
turn was one card he needed, but there were still only four outs left in the deck to help him. The river did bring a 
, though, giving him the straight and netting him the chips.
