Shornikau Makes Chernikov Fold
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Moving from one table to the other as he is also playing in the $10,500 High Roller, Aleksandr Chernikov was at his seat to defend his big blind after Maksim Shornikau opened from the middle position.
On a 9♥J♦7♣ flop, both players checked. Then on the turn 6♥, Chernikov tried to take the pot by betting 200,000. On the other side of the table, Shornikau raised it to 575,000; an amount that Chernikov check-called.
The 5♠ came on the river, and Chernikov checked. Shornikau took this opportunity to fire a bet of 600,000. But he didn't need to show his cards to take the pot, as Chernikov folded.
