Vaskaboinikau Finds a Queen to Double Through Mokrani
Level 15
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Mohamed Mokrani made it 125,000 from the hijack and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three-bet 375,000 from the small blind. Mokrani four-bet jammed to put Vaskaboinikau all in for his remaining 2,500,000, and Vaskaboinikau went into the tank. After burning through around four of his time banks, Vaskaboinikau made the call.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♥Q♣ 
Mohamed Mokrani: A♣K♣
Vaskaboinikau was behind with his ace-queen to the Big Slick of Mokrani and looked likely to be headed to the payout desk.
However, the flop of Q♦2♥7♦ gave Vaskaboinikau top pair and catapulted him into the lead. The rest of the board came 7♣5♣, and Vaskaboinikau doubled up in a huge pot.
