Lamkov Goes Runner-Runner to Stun Kurguzov
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Vasilii Kurguzov raised to 1,500 in the cutoff and Bakhos Joumaa called on the button. Azamat Lamkov then three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind and Kurguzov came back with a four-bet to 17,000.
Joumaa got out of the way, but Lamkov then five-bet to 46,000. Kurguzov quickly moved all in for the second time already today and Lamkov tanked for around 30 seconds before calling for 98,500.
Azamat Lamkov: A?K? 
Vasilii Kurguzov: K?K?
Kurguzov caught the last king in the deck on the K?8?3? flop and Lamkov was already getting up from his seat to make his exit as the 5? fell on the turn. The river, though, was the 6? and Lamkov completed the nut flush to win the pot and double up.
