Miracle Runout Saves Zamani
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri opened to 4,000 from under the gun before Martin Zamani jammed for 56,500 from the hijack. Ruggeri thought for a moment before he put in the call and the cards hit their backs.
Martin Zamani: 9?9? 
Umberto Ruggeri: A?Q?
It was a coinflip scenario with Zamani having the slight edge. The K?7?6? flop gave Ruggeri the nut flush and left Zamani drawing almost dead as he got up from his chair and grabbed his bag.
However, the K? on the turn paired the board and gave Zamani some outs. In miraculous fashion, the K? peeled off on the river, giving Zamani a full house as the table erupted at the absurdity of the runout. Zamani sat back down and collected his double as Ruggeri took a photo of the board in shock.
