Shukhman Gets Lucky

Level 22 : 175,000/350,000, 350,000 ante

Konstantin Shukhman open shipped for 3,650,000 from under the gun and Ian Tang called from early position. Nicolas Patricio Yunis called from the big blind as well and the flop came {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Yunis checked to Tang who then went all in for 950,000 and Yunis instantly called. Players flipped over their hands with both Tang and Shukhman being at risk.

Konstantin Shukhman: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Ian Tang: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Nicolas Patricio Yunis: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Tang's excitement stopped just as soon as the {6-Hearts} hit on the turn, giving Shukhman a set. The {5-Spades} on the river did not change anything and Shukhman got a triple up. Tang took in the side pot and Yunis was left with a little over three big blinds.
