Saad Pays Off Karakitukov

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On the tail end of a heads-up pot between Veselin Karakitukov and Thomas Saad, the completed board showed {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. With nearly 300,000 in the middle, Karakitukov bet 180,000 and that sent Saad deep into the tank. He used all his remaining time banks and had three minutes to make a decision.

With three seconds left on the shot clock, he announced the call and put the chips in. Karakitukov tabled the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for the flopped jack-high straight and won the pot, as Saad mucked four black cards including the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks.
