Alontsau Benifits From a Cooler
Niveau 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
On the very next hand, Siarhei Alontsau raised to 240,000 from early position and Paul Runcan three-bet to 680,000 from the cutoff. Alontsau four-bet shoved for 2,450,000 and Runcan snap-called.
Siarhei Alontsau: A♥A♣ 
Paul Runcan: K♠K♦
Alontsau was on the fortunate end of the ultimate cooler and just had to fade a king to earn the double-up.
A flop of 9♥5♠5♦ kept Alontsau ahead with his bullets. The 10♠ turn meant only a king on the river would end Alontsau's Main Event. However, a safe 5♣ dropped to give Alontsau the winner with a full house and he doubled up through Runcan.
