Miracle Runout Saves Zamani
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri opened to 4,000 from under the gun before Martin Zamani jammed for 56,500 from the hijack. Ruggeri thought for a moment before he put in the call and the cards hit their backs.
Martin Zamani: 9♠9♣ 
Umberto Ruggeri: A♥Q♥
It was a coinflip scenario with Zamani having the slight edge. The K♥7♥6♥ flop gave Ruggeri the nut flush and left Zamani drawing almost dead as he got up from his chair and grabbed his bag.
However, the K♠ on the turn paired the board and gave Zamani some outs. In miraculous fashion, the K♦ peeled off on the river, giving Zamani a full house as the table erupted at the absurdity of the runout. Zamani sat back down and collected his double as Ruggeri took a photo of the board in shock.
