Petkov Picks Up the Rockets
Level 15
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
There was a raise to 100,000 before Maksim Shornikau three-bet to 300,000 from the cutoff. Lachezar Petkov was in the big blind and four-bet shoved for 930,000, which got the initial raiser to fold. Shornikau rechecked his cards and with a covering stack, made the call.
Lachezar Petkov: A♥A♦ 
Maksim Shornikau: J♥J♣
Petkov had picked up the rockets and was in prime position to scoop a pot worth around 2,000,000. The flop of K♥K♣Q♣ was full of paint, but didn't contain any of the jacks that Shornikau needed. A 9♠ on the turn did give him a few more outs, but the 3♦ river bricked off, meaning Petkov doubled up.
