Pavlov Spikes the River to Bust Yusopov
A big pot was brewing between Ivan Pavlov and Mekan Yusupov which had a brutal ending for one of them.
The board read K♥7♠5♠8♣ and with around 60,000 in the middle, Pavlov had fired 26,000. Yusopov raised to 56,000 and after burning through a few time banks, Pavlov shoved for 186,000. Yusopov snap-called.
Mekan Yusupov: 6♥4♥ 
Ivan Pavlov: 8♠8♦
It was a brutal setup and it was Yusopov on the right side of it as he turned a straight, with that same card giving Pavlov a set! Pavlov needed the board to pair on the river and his wish came true as a K♠ rolled off, improving him to a full house!
Yusopov couldn't believe it and once the stacks were counted down, it was realized that he was covered by just 2,000, meaning he was sent to the rail.
"Nice river," said Yusupov as he departed.
