Nanos Survives on Rollercoaster Runout
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
With 240,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 3♠2♣5♣. Konstantinos Nanos bet 110,000 then called off the remainder of his short stack after Toby Gibson shoved.
Konstantinos Nanos: A♠A♣ 
Toby Gibson: K♦4♦
Nanos needed to fade the open-ended straight draw of his opponent, and was the favorite to do so as he held two of GIbson's outs. However, the A♥ on the turn gave Nanos a set, but the same card improved Gibson to a straight. Nanos needed the board to pair but instead the 4♣ river gave both players a straight, which ended the rollercoaster of emotions.
