Semenyuk Doubles Through Tsapko

Level 33 : 120,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Vasiliy Tsapko raised to 505,000 with the {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Leonid Semenyuk jammed the small blind with the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Maksym Lavrov reluctantly folded {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} in the big blind and Tsapko also folded.

Soon after, Semenyuk was all in for 5 million and this time he was called by Tsapko.

Leonid Semenyuk: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Vasiliy Tsapko: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop was a sweat for Tsapko with the open-ender, but the {3-Hearts} turn and the {3-Diamonds} river were both blanks to even out the stack sizes of Semenyuk and Tsapko. The players asked to see ICM numbers right after the hand and headed into a 10-minute break.
