Lamkov Goes Runner-Runner to Stun Kurguzov
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Vasilii Kurguzov raised to 1,500 in the cutoff and Bakhos Joumaa called on the button. Azamat Lamkov then three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind and Kurguzov came back with a four-bet to 17,000.
Joumaa got out of the way, but Lamkov then five-bet to 46,000. Kurguzov quickly moved all in for the second time already today and Lamkov tanked for around 30 seconds before calling for 98,500.
Azamat Lamkov: A♥K♥ 
Vasilii Kurguzov: K♦K♠
Kurguzov caught the last king in the deck on the K♣8♣3♥ flop and Lamkov was already getting up from his seat to make his exit as the 5♥ fell on the turn. The river, though, was the 6♥ and Lamkov completed the nut flush to win the pot and double up.
