Shevliakov Holds With Aces to Double Through Jungevicius and Bust Gaehl
Aleksandr Shevliakov open-raised from early position, Kestutis Jungevicius called in the small blind, then Sebastian Gaehl moved all in from the big blind for 430,000. Shevliakov called and Jungevicius also called to bring the pot to over 1,200,000 preflop.
Action slowed down as the flop came 9♦9♣7♥, both players still with chips opting to check. The turn came the 8♣ and Jungevicius pushed all in with a covering stack. Shevliakov quickly called for his last 420,000 and all three players revealed their hands.
Sebastian Gaehl: K♦10♦ 
Aleksandr Shevliakov: A♦A♠
Kestutis Jungevicius: 10♥8♥
Gaehl and Jungevicius both had straight draws, while Jungevicius also had a pair of eights. Shevliakov was in great shape with his pocket aces, though, and just needed a clean river to win a huge pot.
The river came a complete blank, the 3♥, so Shevliakov held to win the pot, doubling through Jungevicius to bring his stack close to 2,000,000 and eliminating Gaehl from the tournament.
