Minko Survives on the River
Level 18
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Fedor Holz raised to 100,000 in middle position, Vladimir Minko moved all in for 670,000 on the button, and Holz snap-called.
Vladimir Minko: A♦10♥ 
Fedor Holz: Q♠Q♣
The 9♣8♣7♠ flop gave Minko a straight draw, but the 3♣ turn took away some of his outs as Holz picked up a flush draw. The J♦ fell on the river and Minko made his straight to double up.
