Lacay Spikes Case King

Soon after that Royal Wiseman bustout hand, Hamid Nourafchan was back in action, once again raising to 100,000 before the flop, this time from middle position. It folded to Ludovic Lacay in the big blind who made it 350,000. Nourafchan responded by pushing all in, and Lacay made the call, committing his entire 2.8 million-chip stack.

Nourafchan showed {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, and Lacay {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. As the players stood up to await their fate, Adam Bilzerian said he'd folded a king.

The flop came {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and the turn {4-Diamonds}. Just one card in the deck to save Lacay -- and it came on the river, the {K-Spades}.

Lacay catapults back to 5.65 million, and Nourafchan tumbles back to 2.4 million.
