Hussein Busts Zekster in Fortunate Fashion

Dilovan Hussein was left short after an eventful first hour of Day 5 and pushed from under the gun for 315,000. Igor Zektser in the cutoff also moved all in and the big blind was in the think tank. "I hope you have a big hand," Zekster said, and Andrew Ostapchenko peeked at his cards with an "ohhh." Ostapchenko folded however, and the cards were tabled.
Zekster:
Hussein:
Hussein quickly stood up and put on his jacket, and the flop gave Zekster top set. However, Hussein had some outs with a gutshot and immediately got there. The
turn completed the straight and the
river was a blank. Zekster sat there, stunned, and could only say, "You can't be serious."
His stack was counted and Zekster also had 315,000, making him the next casualty of the day.
