Sabic Rivers a Miracle to Stay Alive
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alen Sabic raised to 350,000 from the hijack and Samuel Albeck shoved for 800,000 from the big blind. Sabic called for his remaining 435,000 and the cards were revealed with Sabic at risk.
Alen Sabic: K♣J♦10♦3♣ 
Samuel Albeck: K♠K♥7♣2♥
Sabic needed a lot of help to crack Albeck's kings. The 4♦9♣10♥ flop provided some assistance to Sabic. The 8♥ on the turn meant Sabic was one card away from elimination. However, the Q♣ river improved Sabic to the nut straight and he had doubled up through Albeck.
