Budac Gets a Cruel Tease on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ran Ilani raised to 25,000 under the gun and Josef Gulas called in early position. Stepan Budac then moved all in for 150,000 in the small blind, Ilani reshoved, and Gulas got out of the way.
Stepan Budac: 8♦8♠ 
Ran Ilani: A♣Q♣
The 10♦5♣K♣ flop kept Budac's eights in the lead, but Ilani picked up straight and flush draws. The Q♥ turn gave Ilani a pair, while the 8♣ fell on the river to give Budac a set, but Ilani at the same time made his flush to send the newly-crowned WSOP bracelet winner to the rail.
