Nasty Run Out Sends Stoika Packing
Level 4
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
There was a raise in the hijack before Abdullah Alajmi three-bet from the small blind, and Roman Stoika four-bet to 55,000 in the big blind. The hijack quickly folded, and Alajmi made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 8?5?2?, and Alajmi check-raised the 17,000 bet of Stoika all-in. Stoika had about 118,000 remaining and wasted no time making the call.
Roman Stoika: J?J? 
Abdullah Alajmi: A?9?
Stoika was a favorite to win with his over pair, but the Q? turn, and 3? river gave Alajmi a flush to earn the pot and eliminate Stoika.
