Ovcharov Spikes an Eight to Survive
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Vladimir Ovcharov had already committed his short stack to the pot and was battling for the main pot of around 10,000 chips. There was a flop showing 3♥6♦K♥ where Aidyn Aimukhanov bet 6,000, and Amir Zamani called.
An A♠ dropped on the turn and Aimukhanov shoved for 23,000 exactly. Zamani folded.
Vladimir Ovcharov: 8♥8♣ 
Aidyn Aimukhanov: A♥K♦
Ovcharov had just two outs to survive but found one of them as the 8♠ rolled off on the river, which completed his set and earned him a triple-up.
