Lukyanov Gets it Right to Eliminate Sushant
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a 
board and with just 25,000 chips in the middle, Aditya Sushant checked to Andrey Lukyanov who bet 35,000.
Sushant check-raised all in for 106,000 and his opponent tanked. The clock was eventually called after which Lukyanov called.
Sushant quickly showed 
for trip sixes but Lukjanov held 
for a rivered straight and that was enough to send Sushant to the rail.
