Ayoub Dodges a Diamond

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Hesham Ayoub on the button and Alexander Savchenko in the big blind.

With about 800,000 in the middle and the board reading A♣7♦10♦6♦, Savchenko moved all in to put Ayoub at risk who had about 800,000 behind.

Ayoub thought for a moment before making the call.

Hesham Ayoub: A♠6♣ All in
Alexander Savchenko : K♦6♠

Ayoub needed to fade a diamond, and the river Xx was a brick earning him the double up.
