Yusupov Runs into Aces
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player in early position raised to 25,000 and Mekan Yusupov three-bet to 65,000. When it folded back to Yusupov's opponent, he shoved for around 150,000. Yusupov got a count from the dealer and then made the call.
Early Position Player: A♥A♣ 
Mekan Yusupov: K♦Q♣
The early position player had the goods with pocket Rockets, and Yusupov needed to deliver a bad beat to win the pot.
The dealer burned a card and then revealed J♠Q♥4♥ to give Yusupov top pair, and some chance of cracking his opponent's aces. However, the rest of the board came J♦4♦, and around a third of Yusupov's chips were sent to his opponent.
