Ankit Ahuja raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Aleksandr Kirichenko defended in the big blind.
The J♣5♠10♠ flop saw Kirichenko check-call a bet of 8,000 from Ahuja.
The 6♦ turn prompted a second check from Kirichenko. Ahuja moved all in for Kirichenko's effective stack of 26,500. Kirichenko thought for some time before finally making the call.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: J♥8♥
Ankit Ahuja: 9♠8♠
Kirichenko was ahead with his top pair, but Ahuja had a monster draw. The K♦ river was a safe one for Kirichenko and he doubled up.

The action was caught as Brandon Sheils, in the big blind, was all-in and at risk for his stacking stack against Jessica Teusl, in middle position.
Brandon Sheils: 5♥5♠
Jessica Teusl: A♣K♦
Sheils was ahead in this flip until the flop landed 4♣A♥A♠ to give Teusl trips. The 9♣ turn and 8♠ river had Sheils out of his seat as he exited the tournament floor.
Tom Middleton was all in for around 6,000. Sebastien Compte moved all in from the small blind to isolate the chips.
Tom Middleton: 9♣8♣
Sebastien Compte: A♣A♥
The Q♥4♦8♠ flop provided Middleton with a pair but he still needed to improve. The A♠ turn gave Compte top set and the river 8♥ gave him a full house and Middleton trips.
