Cherkasin Stacked by Special One

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pedro Silva opened to 15,000 from under the gun. Andrei Cherkasin raised to 35,000 from the hijack. Special One went all-in after a tank. The dealer told him to put in all the chips or none. He opted for the triangle. "Good choice," remarked Silva. Silva folded, and Cherkasin called, albeit reluctantly.

Andrei Cherkasin: J♦J♥All in
Special One: Q♦Q♥

The flop of A♦5♠Q♣ gave Special One a set. He called for a ten for his opponent, and the 10♣ came on the turn. The 6♦ sealed Cherkasin's fate.

"I called for the ten but then I got scared" said Special One as he raked in a sizeable pot to take play to the stone cold bubble.
