Arends Hits the Perfect Runout to Stay Alive
Level 14
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jans Arends raised to 400,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 135,000 behind the line. Andrew Lichtenberger made the call from the small blind.
The 4?8?8? flop saw Lichtenberger put Arends all in for his last 135,000 and Arends made the call.
Jans Arends: A?6? 
Andrew Lichtenberger: A?8?
Lichtenberger had flopped trips and Arends was in bad shape, however, the 3? turn and 2? river improved Arends to an unlikely flush and Arends found a full double.
