Nemeth Spikes River to Double via Pavlov
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Andras Nemeth in the small blind, who completed. Ilia Pavlov pumped it up to 80,000 from the big blind, and Nemeth wasted little time in back-jamming for 410,000 total. Pavlov made the snap-call.
Andras Nemeth: A♠Q♣ 
Ilia Pavlov: A♥K♥
In a blind on blind cooler, Pavlov had Nemeth's ace dominated.
The K♠10♠6♥ flop kept Pavlov in front with a pair of kings, but Nemeth had outs to the straight. Those outs increased when the turn brought the 6♠, and with Nemeth calling for the spade, the 9♠ rolled off on the river to give Nemeth the one-card ace-high flush and a crucial double-up.
