Must Be Nice To Be Shakhnovich

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

They say in order to win poker tournaments you need a bit of luck, well if that is the case pile your money on Mikhail Shakhnovich as he has just had a huge slice of luck.

The action folded around to him in the cutoff and he moved all in for 49,600, yes that's right 25 big blinds. Marvin Rettemaier, on the button, looked like he wanted to call but couldn't pull the trigger immediately, but eventually did call. Usually that would be the end of the action but Johan Berg in the small blind called off his remaining 35,000 or so chip and it was a three way all in, with Rettemaier covering both players.

Berg: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Rettemaier: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Shakhnovich: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The dealer tapped the table, burned a card and dealt the flop.

Flop: {10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades} - BOOM! Shakhnovich hits gin as he goes from having 11% equity to being a 75% favourite.

Turn: {3-Diamonds} - Both Berg and Rettemaier are drawing extremely thinly

River: {9-Clubs} - No full house for anyone so Shakhnovich almost triples up, Berg busts and Rettemaier is crippled. What a hand!
