Hussein Busts Zekster in Fortunate Fashion

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dilovan Hussein was left short after an eventful first hour of Day 5 and pushed from under the gun for 315,000. Igor Zektser in the cutoff also moved all in and the big blind was in the think tank. "I hope you have a big hand," Zekster said, and Andrew Ostapchenko peeked at his cards with an "ohhh." Ostapchenko folded however, and the cards were tabled.

Zekster: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Hussein: {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Hussein quickly stood up and put on his jacket, and the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop gave Zekster top set. However, Hussein had some outs with a gutshot and immediately got there. The {J-Hearts} turn completed the straight and the {6-Spades} river was a blank. Zekster sat there, stunned, and could only say, "You can't be serious."

His stack was counted and Zekster also had 315,000, making him the next casualty of the day.
