Adrian Brion Continues to Hang On

Action folded to the blinds, prompting big stacked Khayal Abbasov to open raise all-in. Adrian Brion on the big blind, called off his last couple of big blinds and found himself in for a flip for his tournament life.
Things were looking glum for Brion as the flop 4♣ 5♦ 2♦ landed Abbasov a set, but quickly turned around as the runout 3♠ 6♦ showed a straight on board for a split pot.
