Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Orthodoxos Orthodoxou

Orthodoxos Orthodoxou raised to 2,400,000, then called when Aleksandr Chernikov three-bet to 7,800,000.

The flop came {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Chernikov immediately shoved all in. Orthodoxou snap-called for his last 10,200,000.

Orthodoxos Orthodoxou: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Aleksandr Chernikov: {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Orthodoxou had flopped a set, while Chernikov needed to complete his straight draw to win the title. The {q-Spades} on the turn gave Orthodoxou a full house and left Chernikov drawing dead heading to the {k-Clubs} as Orthodoxou doubled up to virtually even in chips.
