Niste Hits the Flop, Lasouski Spikes the River
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Christopher Nguyen raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Artsiom Lasouski three-bet to 85,000 on the button. Mihai Niste then moved all in for 344,000 in the small blind, Nguyen folded, while Lasouski snap-called.
Mihai Niste: A♠Q♥ 
Artsiom Lasouski: A♣K♣
Niste was dominated and at risk, but the Q♠J♥4♠ flop gave him the lead with top pair. The turn was the A♦, but the 10♥ river improved Lasouski to a straight and sent Niste crashing to the rail.
