Zubov Survives With a Chop
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Elias Gutierrez raised to 200,000 on the button and Alexander Zubov reraised to 450,000 in the small blind, leaving only a few chips behind. Gutierrez called to the K♦Q♠J♠ flop where they got the rest of Zubov's stack in the middle.
Alexander Zubov: A♠6♠ 
Elias Gutierrez: A♥Q♥
Zubov began pleading for a ten as he was behind Gutierrez's pair of queens. The 2♦ turn left him one card from elimination, but he got his wish as the 10♥ river gave both players a straight and they chopped the pot.
