Wazwaz Had to Fade the River
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Rob Wazwaz limped the button and snap-called off for 5,350,000 after Joshua Boulton moved all in.
Rob Wazwaz: 8♠8♦ 
Joshua Boulton: A♥7♥
The 6♣J♠3♥ flop was clean for Wazwaz, but it's never easy as the 6♥ proved when it gave Boulton a heart flush draw. Fortunately for Wazwaz, the 7♦ river was safe and he scored the double.
In the very next hand, Boulton raised the button to 800,000 and Wazwaz called, which brought about a flop of 8♠K♠3♥.
Wazwaz checked, Boulton bet 600,000, and the former check-raised to 1,500,000. The latter called and then called a bet of 1,500,000 on the K♦ turn.
When the Q♠ completed the board on the river, Wazwaz moved all in and Boulton wasted little time in folding his hand.
