Awad Survives Rollercoaster Runout
Level 34
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Mousa Awad shoved from the cutoff for 1,270,000 and Genc Shabani called from the big blind.
Mousa Awad: A?5?
Genc Shabani: A?K?
Awad didn't like what he saw but gathered some hope on the 3?5?6? flop as he paired his five to take the lead. However, Awad was already half-way to the payout desk when the K? dropped on the turn, as Shabani regained his advantage. The rollercoaster runout continued on the river as Awad improved to trips with the 5?, which kept him alive.
