Topsy Turvy Hand
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Bret Hansen went all-in for 93,000 and was covered by Rassoul Malboubi, who called to send the two to a showdown with Hansen at risk.
Bret Hansen: 9♦9♠
Rassoul Malboubi: A♥Q♠
Hansen was ahead before the runout, but the A♦K♥3♥ flop vaulted Malboubi into the lead. It looked grim for Hansen, but he struck one of his outs when the 9♥ came on the turn to hit a set of nines.
This jubilation of spiking a set would not last, however, as the J♥ river gave Malboubi a flush on the river to score the knockout.
