Savin Is Left with Crumbs
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jozsef Fauszt moved all in from the hijack for around 12,500. Anatoliy Savin, in the big blind, made the call for almost all his stack.
Jozsef Fauszt: 4♦4♠ 
Anatoliy Savin: 2♠2♣
The board ran out 8♥5♣5♠6♠7♠; Fauszt's small pocket pair improved to a straight to double him up.
The stacks were so close in size that Savin first thought he'd been eliminated from the tournament and vacated the tournament floor. Upon being informed he in fact had 2,000 behind the line, he quickly returned to his seat.
