Kukucska Saved By a Miracle Flop
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Szabolcs Kukucska moved all in for 650,000 in the hijack, Ran Ilani reraised to 1,100,000 on the button, and the rest of the table folded.
Szabolcs Kukucska: K♥Q♥
Ran Ilani: A♦K♠
Ilani had Kukucksa dominated and was poised for the knockout as the A♥ fell in the window, but it was followed by 2♥6♥ as Kukucksa flopped a flush. The 8♣ turn left Ilani drawing dead, and he handed over the double up after the 4♠ fell on the river.
