Nazarian Doubles in a Dramatic Runout
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Marius Kudzmanas raised to 100,000 from the button, Karen Nazarian three-bet jammed for 700,000 from the big blind and Kudzmanas called.
Karen Nazarian: A♦8♠ 
Marius Kudzmanas: 7♦7♠
This flip fell in the favour of Nazarian as he paired his eight on the 10♣8♣10♥ flop. However, the 7♣ turn gave Kudzmanas a full house to pull ahead. The unlikely 10♠ fell on the river to counterfeit Kudzmanas and Nazarian survived to double up.
