Awad Survives Rollercoaster Runout
Level 34
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Mousa Awad shoved from the cutoff for 1,270,000 and Genc Shabani called from the big blind.
Mousa Awad: A♠5♦ 
Genc Shabani: A♦K♣
Awad didn't like what he saw but gathered some hope on the 3♣5♣6♠ flop as he paired his five to take the lead. However, Awad was already half-way to the payout desk when the K♥ dropped on the turn, as Shabani regained his advantage. The rollercoaster runout continued on the river as Awad improved to trips with the 5♥, which kept him alive.
