In With the Worst, Out With the Best
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Masato Yokosawa raised to 1,400,000 from middle position, leaving 800,000 behind. Action folded to Byron Kaverman on the button, who moved all in for roughly 3,800,000. Action folded back to Yokosawa, who committed the remainder of his stack.
Masato Yokosawa: A♠Q♦ 
Byron Kaverman: A♦K♥
It wasn't the scenario Yokosawa was hoping for when the cards were turned over, but lady luck had his back. The flop coming Q♠6♦8♦ pushed him into the lead.
The 5♦ turn gave Kaverman a flush draw, but the 6♥ river offered no help, and Yokosawa doubled up to survive.
