Eighteen Outs Twice

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We missed the preflop action, but we do know that John Kostelac got his last 49,900 all in on a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and was at risk against Vicki Russel.

Kostelac: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Russel: {9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Even though Russel was ahead at that moment with top pair, Kostelac was a favorite with a flush and open-ended straight draw, plus an over. That gave him 18 outs twice, making him a favorite. Sure enough, the {2-Clubs} spiked on the turn to complete his flush and secure him the double. The meaningless {5-Diamonds} was put out on the river, and Russel gave back more than half the chips she had just won.
