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♣ 
Alexander Savchenko : K♦6♠
Ayoub needed to fade a diamond, and the river Xx was a brick earning him the double up.
