Orthodoxou Holds On as Chernikov Smacks the Flop

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Orthodoxos Orthodoxou

Orthodoxos Orthodoxou raised to 600,000 from under the gun as action folded around to Aleksandr Chernikov, who called from the big blind.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Orthodoxou continued for 2,000,000. Chernikov shoved to put Orthodoxou all in, and Orthodoxou snap-called for his last 1,200,000.

Orthodoxos Orthodoxou: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Aleksandr Chernikov: {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Orthodoxou had the overpair of kings, but Chernikov had made top pair with a flush draw. The turn {4-Diamonds} didn't improve Chernikov, while the {a-Hearts} on the river sealed the double up for Orthodoxou as he began rapidly pumping his fist.
