Zainullin Stays Alive
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jorryt van Hoof opened to 2,000 from early position and Rafael Moraes three-bet to 6,500 from the next seat. Ruslan Zainullin then shoved 8,600 from the cutoff, Van Hoof folded, and Moraes called.
Ruslan Zainullin: A♣K♥ 
Rafael Moraes: A♠Q♣
Zainullin held the lead with Big Slick and took a huge leap toward winning the pot on the 2♦K♣2♥ flop. An A♦ on the turn gave Moraes a few chop outs, but the 5♥ on the river kept Zainullin alive.
