Shovkovyi Pips Panjwani to Take the Chip Lead!
Level 24
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Hand #21
Vladyslav Shovkovyi opened to 200,000 with A♠K♦ and was three-bet to 600,000 by Kassim Panjwani with A♣Q♥. When the action folded back to Shovkovyi, he responded by four-betting to 1,600,000.
Not one to be pushed around, Panjwani ripped it all in to cover Shovkovyi, who quickly called to put himself at risk in a chip-lead pot.
Shovkovyi was in a prime position to double up with his superior ace, and the runout of 9♣2♦A♥5♥5♦ gave him the claim to the huge pot and the chip lead.
