Donev Backs into a Flush to Survive
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Florin Bilan raised under the gun and Ivo Donev jammed from the blinds for 220,000. Bilan made the call to put Donev at risk.
Ivo Donev :A♠Q♠ 
Florin Bilan: A♦K♣
Bilan's big slick had Donev on the ropes, and the flop of K♦2♠4♦ put Bilan firmly in the lead with top pair. Donev needed running cards to survive. He picked up a flush draw on the 4♠ turn and managed to spike said flush when the 10♠ completed the board, and he doubled up.
