[user66118]

Alexander Dovzhenko raised to 50,000 to open the pot, and Vitaly Tolokonnikov moved all in for 475,000. When the action came back to Dovzhenko, he thought it over for just a minute before putting in the call, Tolokonnikov's tournament life now at risk.

There were a few grumbles from the spectators as both players showed down the same hand, Dovzhenko's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

to Tolokonnikov's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. The flop brought {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

and the promise of a chop as both players take their money back plus a few thousand extra.
