Lunkin Caught in a Pickle

We walked up to Vitaly Lunkin's table to see him all in and called on a flop showing {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. Lunkin had tabled {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, and Kasey Thompson showed {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} for the flopped full house.

Disaster would find Thompson on the turn though, as the {10-Hearts} ripped off the deck to improve Lunkin to the leading tens full of eights. The at-risk Russian needed only to fade the final seven in the deck to double up... but he could not fade it! Like a bolt of lightning, the {7-Clubs} struck the river to re-improve Thompson to the winning quad sevens, notching a knockout in the most unlikely of fashions.
